How can I create custom types for type conversion in Python?

How can I create custom types for type conversion in Python?

You can create custom types in Python by defining a class and implementing the __str__ and __repr__ methods for string representation.

Can you give me an example of a custom type?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

class Temperature:
    def __init__(self, celsius):
        self.celsius = celsius

    def to_fahrenheit(self):
        return (self.celsius * 9/5) + 32

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.celsius}°C'

How do I convert between different custom types?

You can define conversion methods within your class or create standalone functions that take instances of your custom types as arguments.

What if I want to handle invalid conversions?

You can raise exceptions in your conversion methods to handle invalid inputs, ensuring your code is robust and user-friendly.
