I'm confused?

Just went through where Kenneth showed me this version just with addition, and I thought it would be the same just with an asterisk symbol in between instead, I found out it wasn't the problem. Please help

numstring.py
class NumString:
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = str(value)

    def __str__(self):
         return self.value

    def __int__(self):
        return int(self.value)

    def __float__(self):
        return float(self.value)

    def __add__(self, other):
        if '.' in self.value:
            return float(self) + other
        return int(self) + other

    def __radd__(self, other):
        return self + other

    def __iadd__(self, other):
        self.value = self + other
        return self.value

    def __mul__(self, other):
        if '.' in self.value:
            return float(self) + other
        return int(self) + other

    def __rmul__(self, other):
        return self * other

You're very close. You need to use multiplication * instead of addition + in the `mul method.
