overloaded versions of the built-in operators using the operator keyword, so long as one of the parameters is a user-defined type. The operator keyword also permits user code to define new kinds of liter- parameter order is: inputs, then outputs. 22 Parameters to C/C++ functions are either input to the function, output from the function, or both. Input parameters are usually values or const references, while input/output parameters will be non-const pointers. When ordering function parameters, put all input-only parameters before any output parameters. In particular, do not add new parameters to the end of

runs (at import time, perhaps from pydoc or other tools). A decorator that is called with valid parameters should (as much as possible) be guaranteed to succeed in all cases. Decorators are a special case Strings link￿ Use the format method or the % operator for formatting strings, even when the parameters are all strings. Use your best judgement to decide between + and % (or format) though.

all binary operators (=, +, -, <-, etc.). Exception: Spaces around =’s are optional when passing parameters in a function call. Do not place a space before a comma, but always place one after a comma.
