Python __str__, __repr__ difference

Python has a way to convert any value into a string: pass it to the REPR () or str () function.

The function str () is used to convert a value into a form suitable for human reading, while REPR () translates into a form for the interpreter to read

(if there is no equivalent syntax, a SYNTAXERROR exception will occur) if an object does not have an explanatory form that is suitable for human reading, STR () returns with Repr ()

The equivalent value. Many types, such as numerical or linked lists, dictionaries, have a uniform interpretation of each function.

Strings and floating-point numbers have a unique way of interpreting them.

class Person (object):

def __str__ (self):

Return "in __str__"

def __repr__ (self):

Return "in __repr__"

p = person ()

"""

Output

>>> P

In __repr__

>>>

>>> Str (p)

' In __str__ '

>>> repr (P)

' In __repr__ '
