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

7,424 PointsDo you have any best practice when studying a concept before moving on to the next step? I feel with some instructors the do really well to make sure you understand the concept and whats happening with your code but as you advance they go through the process as if you have been coding for years.
