class NumString:
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = str(value)
    def __str__(self):
         return self.value
    def __int__(self):
        return int(self.value)
    def __float__(self):
        return float(self.value)
    def __add__(self, other):
        if '.' in self.value:
            return float(self) + other
        return int(self) + other
    def __radd__(self, other):
        return self + other
    def __iadd__(self, other):
        self.value = self + other

self.other = self * other
should update and return self.value not self.other.
Post back if you have more questions. good luck.
