Python Magic Methods
Built in classes define many magic methods, dir() function can show you magic methods inherited by a class.
Example:
This code displays the magic methods inherited by int class.
Python3
# code print(dir(int)) |
Output
['__abs__', '__add__', '__and__', '__bool__', '__ceil__', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', '__divmod__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__float__', '__floor__', '__floordiv__', '__format__', '__ge__', '_...
Or, you can try cmd/terminal to get the list of magic functions in Python, open cmd or terminal, type python3 to go to the Python console, and type:
>>> dir(int)
Output:
Dunder or magic methods in Python
Python Magic methods are the methods starting and ending with double underscores ‘__’. They are defined by built-in classes in Python and commonly used for operator overloading.
They are also called Dunder methods, Dunder here means “Double Under (Underscores)”.
