Hi! I’m following the Computer Science Career Path and encountered a problem during the OOP lesson. I’m trying to use the __ repr __() method as instructed, but whenever I print my object, I get it’s memory address, not the description I wrote for it.
class Unicorn:
def __init__(self, input_name, input_age, input_color):
self.name = input_name
self.age = input_age
self.color = input_color
def __repr__(self):
description = "{name} is a {age} years old, {color} colored unicorn".format(name = self.name, age = self.age, color = self.color)
return description
cloudette = Unicorn("Cloudette", 6, "blue")
print(cloudette)
When I execute this, I get: <__ main __ .Unicorn instance at 0x7f17dde85f00>
I can get it to work only by using: print(__ repr __(cloudette)) , but I’m not sure if that’s what I’m supposed to be doing.
Thank you so much for reading this!
