What am I doing wrong here?
class NumString:
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = str(value)
def __str__(self):
return self.value
def __int__(self):
return int(self.value)
def __float__(self):
return float(self.value)
def __add__(self, other):
if '.' in self.value:
return float(self) + other
return int(self) + other
def __radd__(self, other):
return self + other
def __iadd__(self, other):
self.value = self + other
return self.value
def __mul__(self, other):
if '.' in self.value:
return float(self) * other
return int(self) * other
def __rmul__(self, other):
return self * other
def __imul__(self, other):
self.value = self
return self.value *= other

But there's already an __iadd__ function you can use as a model, just change the math operator.

3,429 PointsNever mind.. I figured it out. Thanks Steven !

4,214 PointsI cannot get my imul to work. It is set up exactly as you have it
what am I missing?

231,275 PointsJulian Silvestri — but he asked the question because the one shown above did not work.
Look at how the iadd function that is already part of the class is constructed, and do something similar but using different math.

3,429 PointsThanks Steven. However, it is still not working for me. I tried that before:
def imul(self, other): self.value = self *= other return self.value
