| Let's say you overwrite the `__mul__` operator in a class in Python, but you don't want the function to be called for all kinds of input. You can specify the type by just returning `NotImplemented` for types you don't want.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```python
 | |
| class A:
 | |
|     def __mul__(self, x):
 | |
|         if not isinstance(x, A):
 | |
|             return NotImplemented
 | |
|         return someOperation()
 | |
| ```
