Python

In Python, str() is the language's native conversion:

• None gives "None" (there is no null).
• A boolean gives "True" or "False", capitalized.
• A list gives "[1, 2, 3]", a dictionary "{'a': 1}".
• A Leek Wars API object gives its type and id: "Cell(42)", "Leek(3)", "Weapon(37)".
• An object of one of your own classes gives what its __str__ method returns, or a generic representation (``) if it does not define one.

Examples

string(12345) // "12345" string([1, 2, 3]) // "[1, 2, 3]" string("hello") // "hello" string(2 > 1) // "true"
