--description--

Finally, return a new vector object. Use __class__ and unpack kwargs to instantiate the new vector.

--hints--

You should return a new vector using __class__ and unpacking kwargs from the __sub__ method.

js
({
    test: () => assert(runPython(`
      _Node(_code).find_class("R2Vector").find_function("__sub__").has_return("self.__class__(**kwargs)")
    `))
})
