What is the usual difference between __str__ and __repr__?

Problem Statement

Explanation

__repr__ should ideally return a string that could recreate the object or be precise for debugging. __str__ returns a user-friendly display. If only __repr__ is defined, print will fall back to it. Good object printing improves debuggability.
