Ex: eval(object), ascii and repr

In most ways these three do similar thing with some subtle differences

print("EXAMPLES FOR: repr(object), ascii(), and eval(object)")

Str_testEval = "1+2+3" #in quotes, it is just a string - no numeric value"
print("Testing eval to see how it treates the string " + Str_testEval)
print(eval(Str_testEval))
print("Print text with a diacritic mark; print it as a string, then with ascii, then with repr")
text1 = "Meet me at the Café"
print(text1)
print(ascii(text1))
print(repr(text1))
test2 = "Naïve"
print("\nTest 2: the word is: " + test2)
it2 = iter(test2)
letter = ""
word = []
while letter != "\n":
    letter = next(it2, "\n")
    print("unicode value for " + letter + " is " + str(ord(letter)))
    word.append(ord(letter))
print("the word list now holds: ")
print(word)
print("Printing these unicode values: ")
print("using repr we have: ")
for i in range(len(word)):
    print(repr(chr(word[i])), end='')
print()
print("using ascii we get: ")
for i in range(len(word)):
    print(ascii(chr(word[i])), end='')
