from AlphaAffixedNumericType import AlphaAffixedNumericType
aant = AlphaAffixedNumericType('A123')

print(aant + 1000) # prints 'A1123'
aant += 10
print(aant.get_value()) # prints 'A133'
aant2 = AlphaAffixedNumericType('A123B')
aant3 = AlphaAffixedNumericType('A124B')
print(aant2 - aant3) # prints -1
print(aant2 - 200) # raises 'NumericArithmeticException' - Numeric part of aant2 (123) is less than 200
aant4 = AlphaAffixedNumericType('A0001B')
