--description--

While the __str__ method returns a human-readable string representation of an object, the __repr__ method is supposed to return the string needed to instantiate the object.

Add a __repr__ method with a self parameter within the R2Vector class.

--hints--

Your R2Vector class should have a __repr__ method.

js
({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).find_class("R2Vector").has_function("__repr__")`)) })

Your __repr__ method should have a self parameter.

js
({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).find_class("R2Vector").find_function("__repr__").has_args("self")`)) })

    def __str__(self):
        return str(tuple(getattr(self, i) for i in vars(self)))
