and for "pass" i really need some help!! thank you !!!

No you haven't got it yet:

I fixed it but it got lot of strange stuff like 'Node', 'increment' and 'data' to remove.

chees!!! man, if possible can you show your work for me .

thank you for your help!!!

I gave you hint. Also wouldn't you think that parameter frequency should be used somewhere?

i fix it , cheers!!!man

but i still can't got 'remove' and 'find' part!!!

will you got some idea or help me !!!

again thank you for help

Right direction, but not yet fixed until end:

>>> f = FrequencyList()
>>> f.add('a',3)
>>> f
[{a: 3}]
>>> f.add('b',5)
>>> f
[{a: 3}, {b: 5}]
>>> f.add('b',2)
>>> f
[{a: 3}, {b: 5}]
>>>

I recommend that you add this doctest runner at the end of the module:

def _test():
    import doctest
    doctest.testmod()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    _test()

All cases have not tests though, like the incrementing of frequency case, you can copy run from my previous post to the docstring to add that.

def add(self, letter, frequency):
        """
        Adds the given `letter`:`frequency` combination as a Frequency object
        to the end of the list. If the given `letter` is already in the list,

        >>> f = FrequencyList()
        >>> f.add('a', 3)

well, i think i still need some help for this one

it works, but print out result is oppsite!!

like ,if i add "f.add('a', 3)","f.add('b', 3)" the result should be like [{a: 3}, {b: 3}]

but in my result is [{b: 2}, {a: 3}]

while can some one give some idea!!!

while good news is i can use this one to implememt the'REMOVE'part and'FIND' part, bad news is its still oppsite!!!

Why you destroyed the Frequency class?

Haha, isn't this for the Cosc122 assignment?
Because we're not meant to discuss the assignment at code level, only at a higher level. If you have issues with your code you should discuss it with your tutor.
But thanks for the free tips :)
