Am i supposed to use int(self) instead of the length attribute in my comparison equations? Just wanted to make sure I'm at least thinking the right way
class Song:
def __init__(self, artist, title, length):
self.artist = artist
self.title = title
self.length = length
def __int__(self):
return self.length()
def __eq__(self, other):
return self.length == other.length
def __lt__(self, other):
return self.length < other.length
def __gt__(self,other):
return self.length > other.length
def __ge__(self, other):
return self.length>= other.length
def __le__(self, other):
return self.length<= other.length
def __ne__(self, other):
return not self.length == other.length

Also, with the conversion installed, all the comparisons can be made just by converting "self" into an int and comparing it directly with the "other". For example:
def __eq__(self, other):
return int(self) == other
