I need to you add mul to NumString so we can multiply our number string by a number. Go ahead and add rmul, too.
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

You are implementing a multiply method. Right now the operator you are using in your method is +. Are there any other mathematical operators that might be more appropriate for multiplication?
Cheers
