Getting error message right after def\_\_add\_\_(self, other): any idea anyone thx!!  
def **init** (self, x, y):  
self.x = x  
self.y = y  
def\_\_add\_\_(self, other): _at this point getting error message_  
return Point(self.x + other.x, self.y + other.y)  
point = Point(10, 20)  
other = Point(1. 2)  
combined = point + other  
print(combined.x)

Hello,

Did you create the class in the first line? before/above the init magic method?

When creating the other-object you have a float within the parenthesis, instead of two ints - (1. 2) instead of (1,2).

When I take your code and try it with a comma instead of a point, and creating a PointClass first it works. Hope this helps you.

class Point():  
def **init** (self, x, y):  
self.x = x  
self.y = y

def **add** (self, other):  
return Point(self.x + other.x, self.y + other.y)

point = Point(10, 20)  
other = Point(1, 2)  
combined = point + other  
print(combined.x)

Well, your code have some logical error, you can try below code once and confirm me weather it is working or not ?

```auto
class Point:
    def __init__ (self, x, y):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

    def __add__ (self, other):
        return Point(self.x + other.x, self.y + other.y)

point = Point(10, 20)
other = Point(1, 2)
combined = point + other
print(combined.x)

```

Thanks
