Add a __str__ method to the BankAccount class. Use your BankAccount class solution from the previous exercises as a starting point to solve this exercise.

Suppose that a class of objects named BankAccount has already been created that remembers information about a user's account at a bank. The class includes the following public members:

member name type description
BankAccount(name) constructor constructs a new account for the person with the given name, with $0.00 balance
ba._name,
ba._balance 		data attributes private attributes storing account's name and balance
ba.name property the account name as a string (read-only)
ba.balance property the account balance as a real number (read-only)
ba.deposit(amount) method adds the given amount of money, as a real number, to the account balance; if the amount is negative, does nothing
ba.withdraw(amount) method subtracts the given amount of money, as a real number, from the account balance; if the amount is negative or exceeds the account's balance, does nothing

Add a __str__ method to the class that returns a string containing the account's name and balance separated by a comma and space. Round the balance to two digits after the decimal point. For example, if an account object named yana has the name "Mariana" and a balance of 3.5 (representing $3.50), the call str(yana) should return the string "Mariana, $3.50". Submit only your __str__ method, not the complete class.

Member function: Write a member function that will become part of an existing class. You do not need to write the complete class.
