Introduction
Hey everyone, and welcome back! Today, we're diving into the wonderful world of Python and exploring how to customize object representations using the `__str__` method. This special method is essential for making our objects more readable when printed or converted to strings.
What is the `__str__` Method?
In Python, every class comes with a default way of representing its instances as strings. However, the default representation is not always user-friendly. The `__str__` method allows us to define a custom string representation for our objects, making them more informative and readable.
Why Use `__str__`?
- It improves the readability of your objects when printed.
- It provides a meaningful string representation for debugging and logging.
- It enhances the overall user experience when working with custom objects.
