Explain the role of repr function.
- Python can convert any value to a string by making use of two functions repr() or str().
- The str() function returns representations of values which are human-readable, while repr() generates representations which can be read by the interpreter.
- repr() returns a machine-readable representation of values, suitable for an exec command.
Following code sniipets shows working of repr() & str() :def fun():
y=2333.3
x=str(y)
z=repr(y)
print " y :",y
print "str(y) :",x
print "repr(y):",z
fun()
-------------
output
y : 2333.3
str(y) : 2333.3
repr(y) : 2333.3000000000002
