Alternate names are defined in module operator (e.g. __add__ and add for +)
Most operators are overridable.
-Many of binary operators support augmented assignment:
+Many binary operators also support augmented assignment:
x += 1 # Same as x = x + 1
Comparison behavior can be overridden for a given class by defining special
method __cmp__.
The above comparisions return True or False which are of type bool
-(a subclass of int) and behave exactly as 1 or 0 except their type and
+(a subclass of int) and behave exactly as 1 or 0 except for their type and
that they print as True or False instead of 1 or 0.
(1) X < Y < Z < W has expected meaning, unlike C
(2) Compare object identities (i.e. id(object)), not object values.
s.translate(table return a copy of s mapped through translation table (12)
[,deletechars]) table.
s.upper() return a copy of s converted to uppercase.
-s.zfill(width) return a string padded with zeroes on the left and
+s.zfill(width) return a string padded with zeroes on the left side and
sliding a minus sign left if necessary. never truncates.
