Python Magic Methods: Customizing Object Behavior

Day 45 of 100 Days of Python | Magic (Dunder) Methods Today I learned about Magic Methods, also known as Dunder (Double Underscore) Methods in Python. These methods allow us to customize the behavior of our objects and make them work like built-in types. 🔹 What Are Magic (Dunder) Methods? Magic methods: • Start and end with double underscores • Are automatically called by Python • Customize object behavior Examples: __init__, __str__, __len__, __add__, __eq__ 🔹 Why Magic Methods Matter • Make objects more readable • Allow operator overloading • Improve debugging • Make custom classes feel natural 🧠 Easy Way to Understand Magic methods are like hidden switches ⚙️ Python calls them automatically when needed. Example: print(obj) → calls obj.__str__() 🔑 Mini Takeaway Magic methods let us define how objects behave with built-in Python operations.

Playing with Python dunder methods 😎 Made addition actually do subtraction using __add__ method. Have you ever tried something like this?
