outputting object of class instead of value

Question

I can't figure out the next steps in order to correctly output the deck of cards. Instead, I'm getting a list of <__main__.Card object at 0x100a93cd0>

can someone give me some guidance. Im new to classes and I'm sure this is pretty simple.

Appreciate any help

class Card:

def __init__(self, value, color):
self.value = value
self.color = color

colors = ['heart', 'diamonds', 'spades', 'clubs']
deck = [Card(value, color) for value in range(1, 14) for color in colors]

Answer 1

David,
Apparently __repr__ dunder is the one we were looking for ...

def __repr__( self ):
return f"{self.color} {self.value} Card"

Answer 2

David,
Line 8 should be returning a string

return f"{self.value}, {self.color}"

But even after applying that change, print( deck ) still only displays raw object info ...

A for...in loop however, appears to be working, as in it calls the __str__ dunder so we see what the dunder return when printing the object ...

Answer 3

Maybe add a __str__ dunder to make the object printable?

Or did I misunderstand you completely?

Answer 4

Ipang sure. Here it is

Answer 5

Ipang you mean like this:
def __str__(self):
return self.value, self.color

I try this then tried prting the deck and im still getting the object

Answer 6

David,
Please share the code bit link so we can see the whole picture ...

Answer 7

Ipang i just dont know how to create an instance of the class when the parameters are being used in the for loop. Basically i just want to create deck of cards using a class.

If you think there is a better way i will certainly try it.

Answer 8

Ipang i try this but i forgot to fix my return to f”{}{}”. Instead i was still using return self.color, … really appreciate your help
