I am trying to get a class that I wrote to print the way I want it to print. I've used python before, but it's been a while, so I looked at some examples, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Currently, my (relevant) code within the class looks like this (the file is called board.py): import numpy as np class Board: CELL_EMPTY = 0 def __init__(self): self.board = np.array([Board.CELL_EMPTY] * 36) self.board_2d = np.reshape(self.board,(6,6)) def __string__(self): resultStr = "" for i in range(6): for j in range(6): resultStr += f'{str(self.board_2d[i, j])} ' if j == 2: resultStr += '| ' resultStr += '\n' if i == 2: resultStr += '------+------\n' return resultStr I wanted to just check that it would come out as I wanted, as it's good practice to test each function as I write it. In a separate testing file (stored within the same folder), I wrote the following code to make sure everything came out the way I wanted it to, and there were no off-by-one errors, or using numpy functions incorrectly: from board import Board my_board = Board() print(my_board) As it turned out, I had a bigger problem on my hands than an off-by-one error, because it just prints <board.Board object at {hex address}>. I didn't think I'd lost that much python knowledge, but my debugger seems to just skip over the __str__() function entirely. What am I doing wrong?? By the way, the expected result was for it to print 0 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 0 | 0 0 0 ------+------ 0 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 0 | 0 0 0 Continue reading...
