Introduction
Python magic methods are also known as dunder methods or special methods. But why such dramatic names? They’re used to overwrite or emulate the behavior of built-in functions.
They’re also easy to recognize, as they follow a particular pattern: They have double underscores as prefixes and suffixes. Hence, the name dunder means Double Underscore. They’re referred to as special methods because they add “magic” to your python classes. Common examples are init(), str(), call(), etc. A magic method is generally used to override operations.
