🎉 You’re doing great! This concept might seem tricky at first, but you’ve got this! Surreal Numbers: Definition and Structure - Made Simple!

Surreal numbers, introduced by John Conway, form a class of numbers that includes real numbers and ordinal numbers. They are defined recursively and can represent infinitesimals and transfinite numbers. In this slide, we’ll implement a basic surreal number class in Python.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

class SurrealNumber:
    def __init__(self, left, right):
        self.left = left
        self.right = right
    
    def __repr__(self):
        return f"SurrealNumber({self.left}, {self.right})"

# Examples of surreal numbers
zero = SurrealNumber([], [])
one = SurrealNumber([zero], [])
minus_one = SurrealNumber([], [zero])

print(zero, one, minus_one)

🚀

✨ Cool fact: Many professional data scientists use this exact approach in their daily work! Surreal Number Arithmetic - Made Simple!

Surreal numbers support arithmetic operations. Let’s implement addition for our SurrealNumber class to demonstrate how these operations can be performed.

Don’t worry, this is easier than it looks! Here’s how we can tackle this:

class SurrealNumber:
    # ... (previous implementation) ...
    
    def __add__(self, other):
        new_left = [x + other for x in self.left] + [self + y for y in other.left]
        new_right = [x + other for x in self.right] + [self + y for y in other.right]
        return SurrealNumber(new_left, new_right)

# Example usage
zero = SurrealNumber([], [])
one = SurrealNumber([zero], [])
two = one + one

print(f"1 + 1 = {two}")
