[Python] Why do i get <__main__.Node object at 0x04E2AA30> instead of the value for rotating...

class Node:
def __init__(self, dataval=None):
self.dataval = dataval
self.nextval = None


class LinkedList:
def __init__(self):
self.headval = None

def __iter__(self):

return self.headval

def printList(self):
printval = self.headval
while printval is not None:
print(printval.dataval)
printval = printval.nextval

def addBeginning(self, newdata):
NewNode = Node(newdata)
NewNode.nextval = self.headval
self.headval = NewNode


def rotateRight(head, k):
listLength = 1
listTail = head.headval
while listTail.nextval is not None:
listTail = listTail.nextval
listLength += 1

offset = abs(k) % listLength

newTailPos = listLength - offset if k > 0 else offset
newTail = head.headval

for i in range(1, newTailPos):
newTail = newTail.nextval
print(newTail)

newHead = newTail.nextval
newTail.nextval = None
listTail.nextval = head.headval

return newHead


llist = LinkedList()
llist.headval = Node(1)
e2 = Node(2)
e3 = Node(3)
e4 = Node(4)
e5 = Node(5)


llist.headval.nextval = e2
e2.nextval = e3
e3.nextval = e4
e4.nextval = e5

llist.addBeginning(0)


rotateRight(llist, 3)


I am suppose to create a function that will take a linked list and rotate it k positions to the right. I tried debugging the code but I keep getting <__main__.Node object at 0x04E2AA30> as a return value.

How can I convert that into the type of data I want like a string or an integer?

Suppose I have a function

def rotateRight(head, k):
listTail = head
while listTail.next is not None:
#do something


this code does not work but for some reason

listTail = head.headval


works because in my LinkedList class I defined the __ init __ function

self.headval = None


If someone can briefly explain or refer me to somewhere that explains this I would appreciate it.
