What is the difference between print
, object
, and repr()
?
Why is it printing in different formats?
See the output differ
See __repr__:
Called by the repr() built-in function and by string conversions (reverse quotes) to compute the “official” string representation of an object. If at all possible, this should look like a valid Python expression that could be used to recreate an object with the same value (given an appropriate environment).
And __str__:
Called by the str() built-in function and by the print statement to compute the “informal” string representation of an object. This differs from __repr__() in that it does not have to be a valid Python expression: a more convenient or concise representation may be used instead.
Emphasis added by me.
