73 PointsWhy Not Working
The Code is not working Why I've even tried without NumString in both the functions i.e. in mul and rmul
Please help !!!
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):
return NumString(self) * other
def __rmul__(self, other):
return NumString(self) * other

def __mul__(self, other):
return int(self.value) * other
def __rmul__(self, other):
return int(self.value) * other

def __mul__(self, other):
if '.' in self.value:
return float(self) * other
return int(self) * other
def __rmul__(self, other):
if '.' in self.value:
return float(self) * other
return int(self) * other
