Operator overloading

In this section, we will learn about operator overloading with special methods. Generally, people call them magic methods. We will use these methods in operator overloading. First, let's understand what operator overloading is. Using a special method, we'll able to change the built-in behavior of the operator. The special method is surrounded by double underscores (__). Some people called it the dunder method. Let's take an example of the + operator, as shown in the following example:

>>> "M"+"R"
'MR'
>>> 4+6
10
