Help with lists and class objects
#12
(Jan-14-2020, 11:25 PM)stullis Wrote: print() calls obj.__repr__() whereas str() calls obj.__str__().
A correction here,print() call __str__() the same do str().
So in my code before in Thread.
>>> # Call __str__
>>> print(sword)
The item is: sword
>>> str(sword)
'The item is: sword'

>>> # Call __repr__
>>> sword
Items('sword')
>>> repr(sword)
"Items('sword')"
__str__ method should primarily be human readable.

__repr__ goal is to be unambiguous,and should be as explicit as possible about what this object is.
The resulting string is intended more as help for developers and debugging.
