Description:

Have you ever noticed that when you use operators with custom data types like class objects in Python, they don't always behave as expected?

It's because they lack specific instructions for handling these types. This is where operator overloading comes in.

This hands-on workshop is designed to equip participants with the essential skill of operator overloading. Through numerous examples and practical exercises, attendees will learn how to effectively apply operator overloading to custom classes, enabling them to solve real-world problems with ease. By the end of the workshop, participants will:

  • Understand why operator overloading is important in Python and how it improves code clarity and functionality.
  • Practice implementing operator overloading for custom data types, making code more efficient and easier to maintain.
  • Learn how to apply operator overloading to solve real-world problems in Python projects.

This workshop is suitable for anyone with a basic understanding of Python programming. We'll cover everything you need to know during the session, so whether you're new to Python or looking to enhance your skills, this workshop is for you.

Prerequisites:

Participants should have a basic understanding of Python programming, including: Familiarity with fundamental Python concepts such as variables, data types, control structures (if statements, loops), functions, and classes.
