[SOLVED] Python return

[matmatmat]

I am trying to make a simple class that takes a string (a, s, m, d) and two numbers and then if the string is a(dd) it adds them together.
Here is the code:


class cal(object):



def __init__(self, operator, num1, num2):
self.operator = operator
self.num1 = num1
self.num2 = num2
# if add
if self.operator == "a":
self.add(self.num1, self.num2)
# if subtract
elif self.operator == "s":
sub(self.num1, self.num2)
# if multiply
elif self.operator == "m":
mul(self.num1, self.num2)
# if divide
elif self.operator == "d":
div(self.num1, self.num2)

# functions
def add(self, x, y):
return x + y


a = cal("a", 1, 2)
print a

when I run the script I get this:


<__main__.cal object at 0x9c0ef6c>

Whats wrong?

Solved by endless searching of forums.
I created a global variable and set the answer to it then printed it.

Er... If you want to have your object printed as string, you should create a method for your class called __str__ that accepts no arguments and returns the string you want.
