CMPSC 132 Spring 2025 Recitation #4

Multiple choice

If your file is running with no errors, override the method __mul__ in the Real class so it returns a Real object when an instance of the Real class is multiplied by another Real object, an integer or a float, and a Complex object when multiplied by an instance of the Complex class. Once again, if you need to call a method in the Complex class, remember you shouldn’t be cutting and pasting code! -- If your file is running with errors, seek assistance from a TA or your recitation partner before proceeding with your implementation. You can test your implementation using this short example: >>> x = Real(3) >>> y = Real(8) >>> z = Complex(2, 5)  >>> op1 = x * y   >>> print(op1) 24 + 0i      >>> type(op1) <class '__main__.Real'> >>> op2 = x * 2 >>> print(op2) 6 + 0i >>> type(op2)    <class '__main__.Real'> >>> op3 = 2 * y  >>> print(op3) 16 + 0i >>> type(op3)    <class '__main__.Real'> >>> op4 = x * z  >>> print(op4) 6 + 15i  >>> type(op4)    <class '__main__.Complex'> What OOP Principle(s) are you using in this implementation?

Step-by-Step Analysis
The question asks which OOP principles are at play when you override __mul__ in Real to support different result types depending on the operand. Option 1: Polymorphism through method overriding. This is the key idea here. By defining __mul__ in Real, you change how multiplication behaves for Real objects, and the same operation (a * b) ......Login to view full explanation
