__str__ vs __repr__ Comparison:
__str__
✓ User-friendly
✓ Readable
✓ print() output
✓ End-user focused
__repr__
✓ Developer-focused
✓ Unambiguous
✓ Debug info
✓ Code reproduction
Usage Examples:
__str__ Usage:
print(car) # Calls __str__
str(car) # Explicit call
__repr__ Usage:
repr(car) # Explicit call
car # In interactive shell
Best Practices:
__str__: Make it readable and user-friendly
__repr__: Make it unambiguous and debuggable
Fallback: If __str__ not defined, __repr__ is used
Goal: eval(repr(obj)) should recreate the object
