__repr__ and __str__

#1

class Car:
def init(self, model, mileage):
self.model = model
self.mileage = mileage
def str(self):
return “{}, {}”.format(self.model, self.mileage)
def repr(self):
return “{}”.format(self.model)
def eq(self, other):
return self.mileage == other.mileage
def add(self, other):
return self.mileage + other.mileage

c1 = Car(“City”, 17)
c2 = Car(“Civic”, 14)

Now if I do print(c1)

the output is not as expected…

the output should have been ‘City’

but its actually showing:-
City, 17
why the mileage is also getting printed? I didn’t modify my repr under in that way: I modified that only to return self. model so it should have shown only ‘City’.
What’s wrong with it?

hey @bihan ,
str function returns the string value of class , be it be a class name or something else , as changed.

but repr function always returns a class object representation.

try using your code in the following manner
