I am trying to print an object from a list based on my class settings.
from math import *
import time
class MyClass:
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.name = name
self.age = age
people = [MyClass("David",17),
MyClass("George",63),
MyClass("Zuck",12),
MyClass("Mark",18)
]
print(people[2])
But it prints out this: <main.MyClass object at 0x0000000003129128> I want it to print "Zuck"
That's because your array contains objects, so when you print them, they are printed as an object representation. I realize that what you want is to print its content.
For that you have to specify how you want to present the instance when printed, using the method __str__:
from math import *
import time
class MyClass:
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.name = name
self.age = age
def __str__(self):
return "name: {}, age: {}".format(self.name, self.age)
return "name: {}, age: {}".format(name, age)"Hello"age and name are instance variables so they must bu qualified with self.. I they where declared in the body of __str__(), they could be referenced without self qualified, but they would be different variables than those declared in __init__().
