Python repr method

class Employee:
  def __init__(self, name):
    self.name = name

  def __repr__(self):
    return self.name

john = Employee('John')
print(john) # John

The Python __repr__() method is used to tell Python what the string representation of the class should be. It can only have one parameter, self, and it should return a string.
