repr

repr(x)

Create a string from any value using the showall function.

Examples

julia> repr(3.14)
"3.14"

julia> repr("Hello, Julia!")
"\"Hello, Julia!\""

julia> repr([1, 2, 3])
"[1, 2, 3]"

julia> repr((x = 1, y = 2))
"(x = 1, y = 2)"

The repr function in Julia is used to generate a string representation of a value using the showall function. It is commonly used to obtain a detailed and unambiguous representation of an object. Here are some examples of using repr for different types of values:

  1. Float: When repr is called with a floating-point number, it returns the string representation of that number.

  2. String: For a string value, repr returns the string representation enclosed in double quotes.

  3. Array: When an array is passed to repr, it generates a string representation of the array, including the elements.

  4. Tuple: For tuples, repr returns a string representation of the tuple with each element shown.

Note that repr is commonly used for debugging and displaying values in a clear and readable format. It can be particularly helpful when dealing with complex data structures.
