I followed kenneth coding, but when I use the add method with NumString(2.2) + 2 I receive a Type Error: float() argument must be a string or a number, not 'NumString'. I don't understand where the mistake is. Here my code:
class NumString: def init(self, value): self.value = str(value)
def __str__(self):
return self.value
def __int__(self):
return int(self.value)
def __foat__(self):
return float(self.value)
def __add__(self, other):
if '.' in self.value:
return float(self) + other
return int(self) + other

Courses Plus Student 1,819 Pointswith this code NumString(2.2) you're passing a number and not a string as parameter. NumString("2.2") should fix the problem
