How to Write __str__ and __repr__ in Python for Better Code

Python classes become more readable and maintainable when you implement __str__ and __repr__ correctly. __str__ is designed to return a clean, user-facing string—ideal for printing objects in a way that makes sense to non-technical users. __repr__, on the other hand, returns a precise, developer-facing representation—useful for debugging and logging. If you skip these methods, your objects may print as cryptic memory addresses, making your code harder to understand and troubleshoot. Mastering this distinction is a small step that makes a big difference in interviews and real-world development.
