The question asked me to wrap it up by adding the imul method and do not forget to update self.value. Therefore, I did and it fails.
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
def __imul__(self, other):
self.value = self * value
return self.value

def __imul__(self, other):
self.value = self * value
return self.value
you want to multiply self * other. just a mistake from the monotonousness of this challenge i'm sure.
