Chris To customize the behavior of the non-equality operator x != y, override the __ne__() dunder method in your class definition. Python internally calls x.__ne__(y) to compare two objects using x != y. If the __ne__() method is not defined, Python will use the is not operator per default that checks for two arbitrary objects whether … Read more
Short summary: To customize the behavior of the less than or equal to operator x <= y, override the __le__() dunder method in your class definition. Python internally calls x.__le__(y) to obtain a return value when comparing two objects using x <= y. The return value can be any data type because any value can … Read more
Short summary: To customize the behavior of the less than operator x < y, override the __lt__() dunder method in your class definition. Python internally calls x.__lt__(y) to obtain a return value when comparing two objects using x < y. The return value can be any data type because any value can automatically converted to … Read more
Short summary: To customize the behavior of the greather than operator x > y, override the __gt__() dunder method in your class definition. Python internally calls x.__gt__(y) to obtain a return value when comparing two objects using x > y. The return value can be any data type because any value can automatically converted to … Read more
Short summary: To customize the behavior of the greather than or equal to operator x >= y, override the __ge__() dunder method in your class definition. Python internally calls x.__ge__(y) to obtain a return value when comparing two objects using x >= y. The return value can be any data type because any value can … Read more
To customize the behavior of the equality operator x == y, override the __eq__() dunder method in your class definition. Python internally calls x.__eq__(y) to compare two objects using x == y. If the __eq__() method is not defined, Python will use the is operator per default that checks for two arbitrary objects whether they … Read more
The Python __div__() magic method overrides the division operation for a custom object in Python 2. In Python 3, it was replaced by the __truediv__() for a / b and __floordiv__() dunder methods for a // b. The Python __truediv__() method is called to implement the normal division operation / called true division. For example … Read more
Finding prime numbers is of critical importance for practical applications such as cryptography. Many public-key methods are only safe from a cryptographic point of view because it’s generally inefficient and slow to compute the prime factors of large numbers. As you go over the article, feel free to watch my explainer video on the Sieve … Read more
Syntax object.__invert__(self) The Python __invert__() method implements the unary arithmetic operation bitwise NOT ~. So, when you cal ~x, Python will internally call x.__invert__() to obtain the inverted object. If the method is not implemented, Python will raise a TypeError. We call this a “Dunder Method” for “Double Underscore Method” (also called “magic method”). To … Read more
Syntax object.__int__(x) The Python __int__() method implements the built-in int() function. So, when you call int(x), Python attempts to call x.__int__(). If the return value is not an integer, Python will raise a TypeError. If it’s not implemented, Python attempts to call x.__index__() instead, and only if this is not implemented either, it raises a … Read more
This one-liner introduces another basic computer science term: palindromes. Similar to anagrams, palindromes are a popular coding interview question. First things first: What is a Palindrome? “A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward as forward, such as madam or racecar or the number 10201.“ [source] … Read more
