Difference between normal functions and 'magic methods' in python?

Question

I am confused about the inbuilt methods and magic methods in python. I just noticed that in magic methods we use double underscore in both ends.

Answer 1

Hi Pranjith, "magic methods" or "dundre methods" are just methods like any others... but they have a "special name" and are called with a "special format".

In the name, they have a double underscore in both side (__add__ , __init__).

And when you call they, will use the special format, so "__add__" will be "+", and "__sub__" will be "-"...
