numeric emulation and the rich comparison operators

Greetings, List!

Still working on my Measure class, and my next question is... (drum roll
please ;)

What are the advantages of using __[eq|ne|lt|gt|le| ge]__ vs __cmp__?

Thanks in advance!

Could anyone explain to me why this does not work as intended? >>> class Oldstyle: .... pass .... >>> old = Oldstyle() >>> old == 1 False >>> old.__eq__ = lambda x: True >>> old == 1

It has appeared that ancient sources give a method for Numeric Date Validation that involves numerous tests to determine month length; versions are often posted by incomers here. That sort of code seems unnecessarily long. For some while, the following approach has been given here :- function ValidDate(y, m, d) { // m = 0..11 ; y m d integers, y!=0

""" I am trying to write some classes representing the quaternion number. I wrote a base class, which implements only the numerical interface, and a few subclasses, which provide methods for their specific domain. Since the operator methods will be the same for all these classes, the base class operator methods don't explicitly return an instance of this base class, but rather an instance of the class that called them (ie 'return...

Hello, Guido has decided, in python-dev, that in Py3K the id-based order comparisons will be dropped. This means that, for example, "{} < " will raise a TypeError instead of the current behaviour, which is returning a value which is, really, id({}) < id(). He also said that default equality comparison will continue to be identity-based. This means that x == y will never raise an exception, as is the situation is now. Here's his reason:

Hi, I am trying to build a large array using concatenate function in python. So as I loop over the number of arrays, of which there are 12 (4 down and 3 across), I create 3 long arrays by concatenating them at the bottom and then concatenating them side by side: for ind in range(num_arrays): if ind == 0: bias_down1 = array(bias)

I'm writing a class that implements rich comparisons, and I find myself writing a lot of very similar code. If the calculation is short and simple, I do something like this: class Parrot: def __eq__(self, other): return self.plumage() == other.plumage() def __ne__(self, other): return self.plumage() != other.plumage()

Greetings, List! I'm working on a numeric data type for measured values that will keep track of and limit results to the number of significant digits originally defined for the values in question. I am doing this primarily because I enjoy playing with numbers, and also to get some experience with unit testing. At this point I have the __init__ portion finished, and am starting on

En Thu, 10 Jul 2008 17:37:42 -0300, Ethan Furman <ethan@stoneleaf.us> escribi�: If your objects obey the trichotomy law (an object MUST BE less than, greater than, or equal to another one, and there is no other possibility) then __cmp__ is enough, and easier to define than all the rich comparison operations. In other cases, __cmp__ is not suitable: by example, complex numbers can't define "greater than" ; you can only use "equal" or...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
