Write a python class Const, Square, Print so that I can write, for example, Cost(5) >> Square() >> Inc() >> Inc() >> Print() and the resulting python program will print 27 to the screen.
Write a python class Const, Square, Print so that I can write, for example, Cost(5) >> Square() >> Inc() >> Inc() >> Print() and the resulting python program will print 27 to the screen.
To solve this problem, we need to create Python classes that allow chaining operations using the `>>` operator such that the sequence `Const(5) >> Square() >> Inc() >> Inc() >> Print()` results in printing `27` to the screen. The key is to design each class to process a value and pass it along the chain using operator overloading. ### Approach 1. **Class Design**: Each class (`Const`, `Square`, `Inc`, `Print`) will handle a specific operation. The `Const` class initializes the value, while `Square`, `Inc`, and `Print` process the value in sequence. 2. **Operator Overloading**: The `>>` operator is overloaded using the `__rshift__` method in the `Const` class to pass the current value to the next processing step. 3. **Processing Steps**: Each processing step (`Square`, `Inc`, `Print`) will have a `process` method that modifies the value and returns it (except `Print`, which prints the value). ### Solution Code
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | class Const: def __init__(self, value): self.value = value def __rshift__(self, other): return Const(other.process(self.value)) class Square: def process(self, value): return value ** 2 class Inc: def process(self, value): return value + 1 class Print: def process(self, value): print(value) return value # Example usage Const(5) >> Square() >> Inc() >> Inc() >> Print() |
I extracted the following code from that output:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | class Const: def __init__(self, value): self.value = value def __rshift__(self, other): return Const(other.process(self.value)) class Square: def process(self, value): return value ** 2 class Inc: def process(self, value): return value + 1 class Print: def process(self, value): print(value) return value # Example usage Const(5) >> Square() >> Inc() >> Inc() >> Print() |
Running the following program:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 | class Const: def __init__(self, value): self.value = value def __rshift__(self, other): return Const(other.process(self.value)) class Square: def process(self, value): return value ** 2 class Inc: def process(self, value): return value + 1 class Print: def process(self, value): print(value) return value # Example usage Const(5) >> Square() >> Inc() >> Inc() >> Print() answer = Const(2) >> Square() >> Inc() >> Square() >> Square() >> Print() expected = 0 assert answer == expected, f'Wrong answer; got {answer} instead of {expected}' print('All tests passed') |
