Python __lt__
"""
Magic method __lt__ stands for less than. So this magic method defines or
overwrites what should "<" sign do with objects.
"""
class Test:
def __init__(self, x):
self.x = x
def __lt__(self, other):
"""
Compares attribute "x" of objects, self stands for 1st object
and other stands for object after "<" sign. (so t is self and t2 other)
"""
return self.x < other.x # Should be used on objects of the same type
t = Test(5)
t2 = Test(2)
print(t < t2) # Now I call the __lt__ method by using "<" sign.
