+I wrote a [blog post about operator overloads](https://brandonrozek.com/blog/cppoverloads/) in C++. Luckily for Python it is heavily document in what is called the [Python Data Model](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html). Though for the sake of having content, I'll share some of the ones that I heavily use in my classes.
+
+| Operator | Method                 |
+| -------- | ---------------------- |
+| `+`      | `__add__(self, other)` |
+| `==`     | `__eq__(self, other)`  |
+| `len()`  | `__len__(self)`        |
+| `str()`  | `__str__(self)`        |
+| `hash()` | `__hash__(self)`       |
+
+Example Usage:
+
+```python
+class Test:
+	def __init__(self, x):
+        self.x = x
+    def __add__(self, other):
+        return Test(self.x, other.x)
+    def __eq__(self, other):
+        return self.x == other.x
+    def __len__(self):
+        return len(self.x)
+    def __str__(self):
+        return self.x
+    def __hash__(self):
+        return hash(self.x)
+```
