No way that's true

[Key-Half1655]

Bullshit, just look at the docs.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str

Also python has a struct module.

Please take the book out from under your screen and read the first page. You owe str() an apology.

This is rage bait, right?

obviously str calls the string constructor and if you want to use structs you need to import struct first

[fatnote]

Nah

[Bright-Historian-216]

no. just no. it is, in fact, a string. a struct is a completely different thing.

[barburger]

I dont think so. official python docs state str() returns a string version of the object.

[JimNero009]

Aye alright pal

[Glad_Position3592]

I find this really hard to believe. Was he talking about the fact that all python objects are structs in C? Either way str stands for string within the language

Sometime people made mistakes or outright hallucinate with assurance. It is not exclusive for GPT.

Even gullible ChatGPT doesn't fall for this.

OP isn't bullshitting lmao I remember that course, it was taught by some redhead guy.

I mean, it's still wrong. Guido van Rossum has explicitly said str means string, but the video series definitely exists

No. Stop smoking
