Table 11.5. Comparison Operator Overload

Operator	Method
obj == other	obj.__eq__(other)
obj != other	obj.__ne__(other)

11.10.3. Object Equality

• When you compare objects with the same fields from two different classes

• Always remember to compare classes

• This way you avoid bug, when both has the same fields and values

• Eq Works at Both Sides

>>> class Fruit:
...     def __init__(self, name):
...         self.name = name
>>>
>>>
>>> a = Fruit('Apple')
>>> b = Fruit('Apple')
>>>
>>> a == b
False

>>> class Fruit:
...     def __init__(self, name):
...         self.name = name
...
...     def __eq__(self, other):
...         return self.name == other.name
>>>
>>>
>>> a = Fruit('Apple')
>>> b = Fruit('Apple')
>>>
>>> a == b
True

>>> class Fruit:
...     def __init__(self, name):
...         self.name = name
...
...     def __eq__(self, other):
...         return self.name == other.name
>>>
>>>
>>> class Company:
...     def __init__(self, name):
...         self.name = name
>>>
>>>
>>> a = Fruit('Apple')
>>> b = Fruit('Apple')
>>> c = Company('Apple')
>>>
>>> a == b
True
>>>
>>> a == c
True

>>> class Fruit:
...     def __init__(self, name):
...         self.name = name
...
...     def __eq__(self, other):
...         return self.__class__ is other.__class__ \
...            and self.name == other.name
>>>
>>>
>>> class Company:
...     def __init__(self, name):
...         self.name = name
>>>
>>>
>>> a = Fruit('Apple')
>>> b = Fruit('Apple')
>>> c = Company('Apple')
>>>
>>> a == b
True
>>>
>>> a == c
False

Eq Works at Both Sides:

>>> class Fruit:
...     def __init__(self, name):
...         self.name = name
>>>
>>>
>>> class Company:
...     def __init__(self, name):
...         self.name = name
...
...     def __eq__(self, other):
...         return self.__class__ is other.__class__ \
...            and self.name == other.name
>>>
>>>
>>> a = Fruit('Apple')
>>> b = Fruit('Apple')
>>> c = Company('Apple')
>>>
>>> a == b
False
>>>
>>> a == c
False

11.10.4. Assignments

Code 11.29. Solution

"""
* Assignment: Operator Comparison Equals
* Complexity: easy
* Lines of code: 3 lines
* Time: 5 min

English:
    1. Override operator for code to work correctly
    2. Do not use `dataclasses`
    3. Run doctests - all must succeed

Polish:
    1. Nadpisz operator aby poniższy kod zadziałał poprawnie
    2. Nie używaj `dataclasses`
    3. Uruchom doctesty - wszystkie muszą się powieść

Tests:
    >>> import sys; sys.tracebacklimit = 0

    >>> class Car:
    ...     def __init__(self, year, name):
    ...         self.year = year
    ...         self.name = name

    >>> Mission(2035, 'Ares 3') == Car(2035, 'Ares 3')
    False
    >>> Mission(2035, 'Ares 3') == Mission(2035, 'Ares 3')
    True
    >>> Mission(2035, 'Ares 3') == Mission(1973, 'Apollo 18')
