2 posts were split to a new topic: Why Is There No items_in_cart Parameter?

Why is there a period after the if statement " if not product in self. " instead of a colon?

Hello @arc7809859746!

I think you are referring to if not product in self.items_in_cart:.

There is a colon at the end of this if statement, after self.items_in_cart. The . you are seeing is used to access the instance variable items_in_cart of self and is not meant to denote the end of the if statement.

Hey, when I try to load up this excersise, it says connected to CodeCademy but the run button is grey and the text area has those loading blocks still? Any idea why this is?

Welcome to the forums!

No, I wouldn’t know why this is happening. I suggest checking out this article from the help centre: https://help.codecademy.com/hc/en-us/articles/220441848-Connection-Lost-in-Codecademy-s-Learning-Environment
