string format - ShaneP - Mar-01-2018

I'm pretty new to python & programming in general. I cant figure out how to print gold as a string.

 class Item:
    def __init__(self, name, description, value):
        self.name = name
        self.description = description
        self.value = value


    def __str__(self):
        return "{}\n=====\n{}\nValue: {}\n".format(self.name, self.description, self.value)


class Gold(Item):
    def __init__(self, amt):
        self.amt = amt
        super().__init__(name='Gold', description='A Round Coin', value=self.amt)


print(Gold)

Output:
 <class '__main__.Gold'>

Gold needs to be instantiated:

gg = Gold(25)
print(gg)

results:

Output:Gold
=====
A Round Coin
Value: 25
