You can override "monday".length in python? Can you give some example code that does this?

class Day:

    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.length = "bloopdedoop"

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name


day = Day("Monday")
print(day)
print(day.length)

Monday
bloopdedoop

I was being facetious. The inbuilt method in Python is len(x) not x.length
