Python __neg__ Magic Method

To customize the behavior of the negation operator -x, override the __neg__(self) dunder method in your class definition. Python internally calls x.__neg__() to calculate the inverse (negation) of an object, i.e., -x. If the __neg__() method is not defined, Python will raise a TypeError. Syntax __neg__(self) To use the negation operator -x on a custom … Read more

How to Override the “not” Operator in a Python Magic Method?

Short Answer: To override the logical not operator for a custom Python class My_Class, redefine the dunder method My_Class.__bool__() to return your custom Boolean value. This ensures that bool(x) on a My_Class object x returns either True or False. The operation not x will then return the inverse Boolean value, i.e, not x evaluates to … Read more
