Advanced use of mathematical operators in Python
The behavior of an object in Python is determined by its type. The so-called type is to support certain specific operations. Numeric objects are fundamental elements in any programming language, supporting mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Python's numerical objects include integers and floating point numbers, supporting various mathematical operations, such as +, -, *, /, etc. Without these operators, the program can only use function calls to perform mathematical operations, such as add(2, 3), sub(5, 2).
The functions of operators in the program are consistent with the usage of ordinary mathematical operations, making them easier and more intuitive to use. In Python, these operators are implemented by defining some special methods of objects, such as object.__add__() and object.__sub__(). If users implement the above special methods when defining their own classes, the objects of the custom class can support corresponding mathematical operations, thereby simulating the behavior of digital objects. This actually achieves the effect of operator overloading.
Here is an explanation of how to implement a Chinese number class that supports common mathematical operations in Python by implementing a Chinese number class that supports addition operations. The basic definition of the ChineseNumber class is as follows.
class ChineseNumber:
def __init__(self, n):
self.num = n
self.alphabet = [u'零', u'一', u'二', u'三', u'四',
u'五', u'六', u'七', u'八', u'九', u'十']
def __str__(self):
sign = '负' if self.num < 0 else ''
return sign + ''.join([self.alphabet[int(s)] for s in str(abs(self.num))])
def __repr__(self):
return self.__str__()
Currently, the effect achieved is as follows:
>>> a = ChineseNumber(2) >>> a #调用a.__repr__() 二 >>> print(a) #调用a.__str__() 二
General mathematical operators
When defining a class, implement the __add__() method to add the + operator to this class. Add the following method to ChineseNumber:
def __add__(self, other):
if type(other) is ChineseNumber:
return ChineseNumber(self.num + other.num)
elif type(other) is int:
return ChineseNumber(self.num + other)
else:
return NotImplemented
At this time, the ChineseNumber object can use +.
>>> a, b = ChineseNumber(2), ChineseNumber(10) >>> a + b 十二 >>> a + 5 七 >>> a + 3.7 TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'ChineseNumber' and 'float'
For +, a + b is equivalent to calling a.__add__(b). Similarly, other mathematical operators can be defined, see the table below.
object.__add__(self, other): + object.__sub__(self, other): - object.__mul__(self, other): * object.__matmul__(self, other): @ object.__truediv__(self, other): / object.__floordiv__(self, other): // object.__mod__(self, other): % object.__divmod__(self, other): divmod, divmod(a, b) = (a/b, a%b) object.__pow__(self, other[,modulo]): **, pow() object.__lshift__(self, other): << object.__rshift__(self, other): >> object.__and__(self, other): & object.__xor__(self, other): ^ object.__or__(self, other): |
Mathematical operator with operand inversion (Reflected/Swapped Operand)
>>> 2 + a TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'ChineseNumber'
2 is an integer type, and its __add__() method does not support objects of the ChineseNumber class, so the above error occurred. Defining mathematical operators with operand inversion can solve this problem. Add the __radd__() method to the ChineseNumber class to implement the + operation of operand reversal.
def __radd__(self, other):
return self.__add__(other)
For a + b, if a does not define the __add__() method, Python tries to call the __radd__() method of b. At this time, a + b is equivalent to calling b.__radd__(a).
>>> a = ChineseNumber(2) >>> 2 + a 四
Similarly, other mathematical operators with operand inversion can be defined, see the table below.
object.__radd__(self, other): + object.__rsub__(self, other): - object.__rmul__(self, other): * object.__rmatmul__(self, other): @ object.__rtruediv__(self, other): / object.__rfloordiv__(self, other): // object.__rmod__(self, other): % object.__rdivmod__(self, other): divmod, divmod(a, b) = (b/a, b%a) object.__rpow__(self, other[,modulo]): **, pow() object.__rlshift__(self, other): << object.__rrshift__(self, other): >> object.__rand__(self, other): & object.__rxor__(self, other): ^ object.__ror__(self, other): |
Arithmetic assignment operator
The operation assignment operator uses a single operator to complete operation and assignment operations. For example, a += b is equivalent to calling a = a + b. Add the __iadd__() method to ChineseNumber to implement the += operator.
def __iadd__(self, other):
if type(other) is ChineseNumber:
self.num += other.num
return self
elif type(other) is int:
self.num += other
return self
else:
return NotImplemented
At this time,
>>> a, b = ChineseNumber(2), ChineseNumber(10) >>> a += b >>> a 十二 >>> a + 7 >>> a 十九
Similarly, other operation assignment operators can be defined, see the table below.
object.__iadd__(self, other): += object.__isub__(self, other): -= object.__imul__(self, other): *= object.__imatmul__(self, other): @= object.__itruediv__(self, other): /= object.__ifloordiv__(self, other): //= object.__imod__(self, other): %= object.__ipow__(self, other[,modulo]): **= object.__ilshift__(self, other): <<= object.__irshift__(self, other): >>= object.__iand__(self, other): &= object.__ixor__(self, other): ^= object.__ior__(self, other): |=
Unary mathematical operators
Unary mathematical operators are operations with only one operand, such as the - operator for taking negative numbers. -The corresponding special function is __neg__(). Add __neg__() method for ChineseNumber,
def __neg__(self):
return ChineseNumber(-self.num)
At this time, the ChineseNumber object supports the - operation.
>>> a = ChineseNumber(5) >>> -a 负五
See the table below for other unary operators.
object.__neg__(self): - object.__pos__(self): + object.__abs__(self): abs() object.__invert__(self): ~ object.__complex__(self): complex() object.__int__(self): int() object.__float__(self): float() object.__round__(self): round() object.__index__(self): operator.index()
