Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Yes, str() calls the __str__ dunder. Creating instances of int the way you're describing is a unique thing based on how the language was designed. These creations are known as "literals"

#

!e
5 = 10

"cannot assign to literal"

#

It calls it in the class you're converting. It's basically 5.__str__()

#

We can still instantiate with the literal class name. int() gives you 0

#

Python is written in C. I don't personally know how they implemented literals

#

Yeah for sure, that's part of the interpreter

#

You don't really need to understand it unless you're interested in programming languages in general
