Python Object-Oriented Python Advanced Objects Multiplication

What am i doing wrong?

I've added the mul as I've been doing all along but nothing is happening. Please help me find where the problem is

numstring.py
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

Hi there, Tapiwanashe Jandura! There are two things going on here. First is an error in the method definition and secondly, you're missing the __rmul__ that the challenge is also asking for.

You typed:

def __mul__(self. other):  # note the . instead of ,

But you meant for there to be a comma between self and other:

def __mul__(self, other):

Then you just need to add the __rmul__ method and you should be set! Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Thank you so much. You are the best!!
