Question is how do you implement the "curly brackets" in my str method?
This is what I have so far...
def __init__( self, *initElements ):
self._theElements = list()
def __str__(self):
return self._theElements
__str__ should return a string, not a list. Since _theElements is a list,
you cannot rightly return that. You could convert that to a string first:
s = str(self._theElements)
and then replace the square brackets [ ] with curly brackets:
s = s.replace("[", "{").replace("]", "}")
return s
Another way is to build the string yourself:
s = ', '.join(str(item) for item in self._theElements)
return '{' + s + '}'
