We used __radd__ to add reflective additions to instances, why not now in the comparison methods? Thank you

When you create a class in python, you have to add both add and radd methods to make sure you can add them together, no matter which side of the operator the instance was on.

After defining the eq, ne, etc in this video, I tested out the methods in the terminal and they worked fine on both sides of the operator.

I'm probably missing something, but that was peculiar to me.

This is because for these two options the order does not matter at all, it is a boolean operation so can only be True, or False, there are no other options.

The others though are saying, how do I add an integer to my die, and how do I add my die to an integer and preparing the class to handle this eventuality.

Hope this makes sense, feel free to ask any questions.
