Python __radd__() Magic Method

Syntax object.__radd__(self, other) The Python __radd__() method implements the reverse addition operation that is addition with reflected, swapped operands. So, when you call x + y, Python attempts to call x.__add__(y). Only if the method is not implemented on the left operrand, Python attempts to call __radd__ on the right operand and if this isn’t … Read more

Python __rxor__() Magic Method

Syntax object.__rxor__(self, other) The Python __rxor__() method implements the reverse Bitwise XOR ^ operation with reflected, swapped operands. So, when you call x ^ y, Python attempts to call x.__xor__(y). If the method is not implemented, Python attempts to call __rxor__ on the right operand and if this isn’t implemented either, it raises a TypeError. … Read more

Python __xor__() Magic Method

Syntax object.__xor__(self, other) The Python __xor__() method implements the built-in Bitwise XOR ^ operation. So, when you cal x ^ y, Python attempts to call x.__xor__(y). If the method is not implemented, Python first attempts to call __rxor__ on the right operand and if this isn’t implemented either, it raises a TypeError. We call this … Read more

Python __and__() Magic Method

Syntax object.__and__(self, other) The Python __and__() method implements the built-in Bitwise AND & operation. So, when you cal x & y, Python attempts to call x.__and__(y). If the method is not implemented, Python first attempts to call __rand__ on the right operand and if this isn’t implemented either, it raises a TypeError. We call this … Read more

Python __rshift__() Magic Method

Syntax object.__rshift__(self, other) The Python __rshift__() method implements the built-in >> operation. So, when you cal x >> y, Python attempts to call x.__rshift__(y). If the method is not implemented, Python first attempts to call __rrshift__ on the right operand and if this isn’t implemented either, it raises a TypeError. We call this a “Dunder … Read more

Python __lshift__() Magic Method

Syntax object.__lshift__(self, other) The Python __lshift__() method implements the built-in << operation. So, when you cal x << y, Python attempts to call x.__lshift__(y). If the method is not implemented, Python first attempts to call __rlshift__ on the right operand and if this isn’t implemented either, it raises a TypeError. We call this a “Dunder … Read more

Python __pow__() Magic Method

Syntax object.__pow__(self, other) The Python __pow__() method implements the built-in exponentiation operation. So, when you call pow(a, b) or a ** b, Python attempts to call x.__pow__(y). If the method is not implemented, Python first attempts to call __rpow__ on the right operand and if this isn’t implemented either, it raises a TypeError. We call … Read more

Python __divmod__() Magic Method

Syntax object.__divmod__(self, other) The Python __divmod__() method implements the built-in divmod operation. So, when you call divmod(a, b), Python attempts to call x.__divmod__(y). If the method is not implemented, Python first attempts to call __rdivmod__ on the right operand and if this isn’t implemented either, it raises a TypeError. We call this a “Dunder Method” … Read more

Python __mod__() Magic Method

Syntax object.__mod__(self, other) The Python __mod__() method implements the modulo operation % that per default returns the remainder of dividing the left by the right operand. Internally, Python attempts to call x.__mod__(y) to implement the modulo operation x%y. If the method is not implemented, Python first attempts to call __rmod__ on the right operand and … Read more

Python __floordiv__() Magic Method

Syntax object.__floordiv__(self, other) The Python __floordiv__() method implements the integer division operation // called floor division—as opposed to the true division operation /. For example to evaluate the expression x // y, Python attempts to call x.__floordiv__(y). If the method is not implemented, Python first attempts to call __rfloordiv__ on the right operand and if … Read more

Python __truediv__() Magic Method

Syntax object.__truediv__(self, other) The Python __truediv__() method is called to implement the normal division operation / called true division—as opposed to the floor division operation //. For example to evaluate the expression x / y, Python attempts to call x.__truediv__(y). We call this a “Dunder Method” for “Double Underscore Method” (also called “magic method”). To … Read more
