Python OOP Tutorial 5: Special (Magic/Dunder) Methods

In this Python Object-Oriented Tutorial, we will be learning about special methods. These are also called magic or dunder methods. These methods allow us to emulate built-in types or implement operator overloading. These can be extremely powerful if used correctly. We will start by writing a few special methods of our own and then look at how some of them are used in the Standard Library. Let’s get started.
