How does this function work?

Question

class SpecialString:
def __init__(self, cont):
self.cont = cont

def __gt__(self, other):
for index in range(len(other.cont)+1):
result = other.cont[:index] + ">" + self.cont
result += ">" + other.cont[index:]
print(result)

spam = SpecialString("spam")
eggs = SpecialString("eggs")
spam > eggs

I don't understand from 5th line(for index...)

Answer 1

Oh it is a complete missuse of the gt operator.
Ok pencil and paper and step by step

Let index be 0
Result = egg[0:0]+ ">" + "spam" what leads to
>spam

next line is Result+=">"+eggs[0:]
Now result is
>spam>eggs

try yourself with next index

Answer 6

Oma Falk Is it really an example from the SL Python course? Wow... It is a very bad use of __gt__, as you said. It is teaching bad practices...

Answer 7

Oma Falk I just found it inside the 'magic methods' part (3rd example) . https://www.sololearn.com/learn/JUMP_LINK__&&__Python__&&__JUMP_LINK/2470/
