Address str Method¶

If you print out an object directly, you will get a rather confusing output. Let’s give our Address class the ability to show us a better string representation of whatever Address obejct we we want to print.

We will create a magic-method (dunder method) called __str__ for the Address class that will return the string we want to show when we print the object.

What You Should Do on Your Own¶

Assignments turned in without these things will receive half credit or less.

  1. What happens if the function is renamed from __str__ to something else? Answer in a comment, then change it back.

  2. The __str__ method given does not include the state field. Fix it so that it does.

  3. What is self parameter that you see in the __str__ method?
