Code Explanation:
1. Class Definition
class Num:
This defines a class named Num.
It is a blueprint for creating objects that store a number.
2. Constructor Method
def __init__(self, x):
self.x = x
__init__ is the constructor that runs when an object is created.
x is the value passed while creating the object.
self.x = x stores the value inside the object.
3. Operator Overloading for /
def __truediv__(self, other):
return Num(self.x * other.x)
__truediv__ is a magic method that overloads the / operator.
Instead of performing division, this method performs multiplication.
self.x * other.x multiplies the values.
A new Num object is returned with the multiplied value.
4. Creating First Object
n1 = Num(2)
Creates an object n1.
self.x = 2 is stored in n1.
5. Creating Second Object
n2 = Num(6)
Creates another object n2.
self.x = 6 is stored in n2.
6. Using the / Operator
print((n1 / n2).x)
n1 / n2 calls the __truediv__ method.
Inside the method:
self.x * other.x = 2 * 6 = 12
A new Num(12) object is created.
.x extracts the value 12.
print() displays:
12
Final Output
12
