Syntax and Definition object.__floor__(self) The Python __floor__() method implements the behavior of the math.floor() function. For example, if you attempt to call math.floor(x), Python will run the x.__floor__() method to obtain the return value. We call this a “Dunder Method” for “Double Underscore Method” (also called “magic method”). To get a list of all dunder … Read more
Syntax and Description object.__ceil__(self) The Python __ceil__() method implements the behavior of the math.ceil() function. For example, if you attempt to call math.ceil(x), Python will run the x.__ceil__() method to obtain the return value. We call this a “Dunder Method” for “Double Underscore Method” (also called “magic method”). To get a list of all dunder … Read more

Syntax object.__round__(self, ndigits=0) The Python __round__() method implements the built-in round() function. For example, if you attempt to call round(x) or round(x, ndigits), Python will run the x.__round__() or x.__round__(ndigits) method, respectively. The following code snippet overrides the __round__() dunder method to return the rounded age of a Person when you pass an object of … Read more
