In Python, the __repr__ method is a special method used to provide a string representation of an object. It is typically used for debugging and displaying information about the object in a concise and human-readable format.

The __repr__ method should return a string that is a valid Python expression that could be used to recreate the object. It is often used in combination with the __str__ method, which is used to provide a more user-friendly string representation of the object.

Here is an example of a class that defines the __repr__ method:

class Point:  
    def __init__(self, x, y):  
        self.x = x  
        self.y = y  
    def __repr__(self):  
        return f"Point({self.x}, {self.y})"  
point = Point(3, 4)  
print(point)  # Output: Point(3, 4)  

In this example, the __repr__ method returns a string that represents the Point object with its x and y coordinates.

It is important to note that the __repr__ method should always return a string that accurately represents the object. The __str__ method, on the other hand, allows for a more customized and user-friendly representation of the object.
