"""
Magic method __mul__ is called when a "*" is used on any object.
Given example shows what I mean: print(some_object * other_object)
This may give error often, so that means given objects don't have __mul__ method

self represents the object that is first and other is object after
"*" sign. What I say here is that I expect to have attribute "x"
in both objects and I will try to multiply them. This SHOULD BE
used for objects of the same type.
