Python - multiplication between a variable that belong to the same class -

how set class variable return other data type (list or int)?

so have 2 variable belong same class , want use operator example multiplication both of variables, cannot done because both of them have class data type.

for example:

class multip:     def __init__(self,x,y):         self.x = x         self.y = y     def __repr__(self):         return "{} x {}".format(self.x, self.y)     def __str__(self):         return "{}".format(self.x*self.y)     def __mul__(self, other):         thisclass = self.x*self.y         otherclass = other         return thisclass * otherclass = multip(5,6) b = multip(7,5) c = a*b print(c) 

this return error:

typeerror traceback (most recent call last) in () 14 = multip(5,6) 15 b = multip(7,5) ---> 16 c = a*b 17 print(c)

in mul(self, other) 10 thisclass = self.x*self.y 11 otherclass = other ---> 12 return thisclass * otherclass 13 14 = multip(5,6)

typeerror: unsupported operand type(s) *: 'int' , 'multip'

to work, this:

otherclass = other.x*other.y 

instead of

otherclass = other 

this mean otherclass int , multiplication work.
