For loop printing memory location of class instead of list

Question

I have some code which seems to print [<__main__.TCar object at 0x0245C1B0>] but I want it to print the actual contents of the list.

class TCa

You can either override __str__ or __repr__ like this:

class TCar():
  def __init__(self, Make, Model, EngineSize, Price):
    self.Make = str(Make)
    self.Model = str(Model)
    self.EngineSize = float(EngineSize)
    self.Price = float(Price)

  def __repr__(self):
    return "{Make}-{Model} (v{EngineSize}/{Price}$)".format(**self.__dict__)

Garage = [TCar("Audi", "TT", "8", "80000")]
print(Garage)
# [Audi-TT (v8.0/80000.0$)]
