Python Classes - Operator Overloading Methods with Code Example - Learn to Program APPFICIAL

Operator Overloading allows you to replace the functionality of numeric operators (such as +, -, *, and /) with a method

For example, you can write an __add__(self, other) method to replace the functionality of the (+) operator

Use the built-in isinstance() method to handle different object types for the operation

Method / Description
__add__(self, other) / Add (+)
__sub__(self, other) / Subtract (-)
__mul__(self, other) / Multiply (*)
__truediv__(self, other) / Divide (/)
__floordiv__(self, other) / Floored division (//)
__mod__(self, other) / Modulus (%)
__pow__(self, other) / Exponentiation (**)
__and__(self, other) / "and" logical operator
__or__(self, other) / "or" logical operator
__abs__(self) / Absolute value (abs())
__int__(self) / Convert to integer (int())
__float__(self) / Convert to floating point (float())
