How to change any data type into a string in Python?
Any built-in data type converted into its string representation by str() function
>>> str(10) '10' >>> str(11.11) '11.11' >>> str(3+4j) '(3+4j)' >>> str([1,2,3]) '[1, 2, 3]' >>> str((1,2,3)) '(1, 2, 3)' >>> str({1:11, 2:22, 3:33}) '{1: 11, 2: 22, 3: 33}'
For a user defined class to be converted to string representation, __str__() function needs to be defined in it.
>>> class rectangle: def __init__(self): self.l=10 self.b=10 def __str__(self): return 'length={} breadth={}'.format(self.l, self.b) >>> r1=rect() >>> str(r1) 'length = 10 breadth = 10'
