repr(object)

Returns the formal string representation of a specified object.

Parameters¶

The repr() function takes one parameter:

• obj: The object for which you want a formal string representation. For many types, the function returns a string that, when passed to eval(), can produce an object with the same value as the original.

In other cases, the representation is a string enclosed in angle brackets < >, containing the type name and additional information, often the object’s name and its memory address.

Return Value¶

• The repr() function returns the formal string representation of the specified object.

Examples¶

class Animal:
    pass

repr(Animal())  # <__main__.Animal object at 0x...>
repr('cat-кот')  # 'cat-кот'
