What is the difference between str and repr functions in Python

Question

I am new to Python. So basically I want to know the difference between str() function and repr() function because both the functions produce the same output.

Answer 1

str() is mostly used to create output for end users. repr() is mainly used for debugging and exploring.

For example, if you suspect a string has non-printing characters in it, or a float has a small rounding error, repr() will show you; str() may not be useful in this case

repr() can also be useful for generating literals to paste into your source code.
