You can unpack a dictionary into keyword arguments by using the ** operator:
def spam(a, b):
return a + b
my_dict = {a: 11, b: 4}
spam(**my_dict) # 15
Return an instance of the current class by using __class__ and passing **kwargs as the argument.
You should return self.__class__(**kwargs) from the __add__ method.
