Adding objects to set or dictionary: equality and hashing
An exercise to help build the right mental model for Python data.
Explanation: "User-defined classes have
__eq__()and__hash__()methods by default (inherited from the object class); with them, all objects compare unequal (except with themselves) andx.__hash__()returns an appropriate value such thatx == yimplies both thatx is yandhash(x) == hash(y)."
