How to Use IntEnum Arithmetic for Priority Levels in Python
Demonstrates Python IntEnum arithmetic for priority levels, showing how enum members behave like integers in calculations and comparisons.
from enum import IntEnum

if __name__ == "__main__":
current = Priority.MEDIUM
boosted = current + 3
lowered = current - 2
doubled = current * 2
print(f"Current: {current} ({current.value})")
print(f"Boosted (…How to Validate Data Types in Python with a Class
