please help me to understand this code please...it belongs to python ...

class Vector2D: def __init__(self, x, y): self.x = x self.y = y def __add__(self, other): return Vector2D(self.x + other.x, self.y + other.y) first = Vector2D(5, 7) second = Vector2D(3, 9) result = first + second print(result.x) print(result.y)

I littered a bunch of comments in case some of it is unclear. class Vector2D: # Define constructor, or how to initialize a Vector2D instance. def __init__(self, x, y): self.x = x self.y = y # Define meaning for the '+' operator between a Vector2D instance and something else. def __add__(self, other): return Vector2D(self.x + other.x, self.y + other.y) first = Vector2D(5, 7) # Create a vector where x = 5, y = 7. second = Vector2D(3, 9) # Create a vector where x = 3, y = 9. result = first + second # Create a vector where x = 5 + 3 = 8, y = 7 + 9 = 16 print(result.x) # print 8 print(result.y) # print 16 It would be nicer if you had a more specific question. Nothing stands out to me as particularly confusing.

in addition to the above post, study operator overloading.
