class Circle():
def __init__(self, radius):
self.radius = radius
def __add__(self, circle):
# some validation to ensure it's a circle here.
return Circle(circle.radius + self.radius)
def __str__(self):
return F"Circle of radius {self.radius}"
circle_one = Circle(5)
circle_two = Circle(6)
print(str(circle_one + circle_two)
# output: "Circle of radius 11"
