If i should add this. They are called magic methods because they mostly used for operator overloading without explicit conversion. P.S: probably nothing magical true or perhaps coz they can be confusing

simple example/explanation.. imagine you had a class rectangle with an appropriate constructor...so rect1 = rectangle(10, 20) rect2 = rectangle(30, 40). You could define a dunder to do:- rect3 = rect1 + rect2. (it is explained in the python tutorial)
