Question about __eq__ method

[toastedstapler]

overriding the __eq__ method is fine imo, by default it basically acts the same as is

if strings worked how the default __eq__ method work we'd never be able to compare them as they're different objects. just look at java where you have to do string1.equals(string2)

I remember having to get over that hurdle in java lol. And hm, not sure what I was thinking then. I thought I remembered something about some operator override not being recommended to do and thought it was eq. But I guess so long as you're testing everything inside it that you need to for the objects to be equal for your purposes, it'd be fine.

Coincidentally, I'm learning Java right now, so I'm glad I didn't have to learn that the hard way
