Operator overloading in python with the object on the right hand side of the operator

Question

I recently learned about operator overloading in python and I would like to know if the following is possible.

Consider the folowing hypothetica/contrived class.

Answer 1

You have to overload the __radd__ method (right-side addition). Your function should look pretty much the same as your __add__ method, e.g.:

def __radd__(self, other):
     return self.val + other.val
