3,522 PointsHow do I solve the __eq__ problem?
My code is below. I keep getting a syntax error. Thanks!
class Book:
def __init__(self, author, title):
self.author = author
self.title = title
def __str__(self):
return f'{self.author}, {self.title}'
def __eq__(self, other)
return self.author == self.title
from book import Book
class BookCase:
def __init__(self):
self.books = []
def add_books(self, book):
self.books.append(book)

Treehouse TeacherHi! First, your dunder eq method is missing the :
after the parentheses - that's kicking off the syntax error. Second, you should be comparing the author and title of this book to the other
book that is being passed in. So self.author == other.author
for author and the same for the title.
