The Best Way To Format Strings in Python #shorts #python #linux

Key Takeaways

did you know that you can use f strings in Python to include variables in your text have a look at the following code where we want to print the name entered and save it in the variable called name so name equals input please enter your name but look at the following Line Print hello my name is David the code in the print statement is static and won't change whenever we run the program doesn't matter if you input another name there it's still going to print out hello my name is David which is not very useful if your name is not David so we can use string concatenation which combines two strings with the plus operator to make this work better so notice how we've changed the print function it says print hello your name is plus name however when we run this we'll see that there's no space between the greeting and your name we can fix this by adding a space at the end of the hollow your name is string so notice the space after is so it looks like this however that's not very pretty and there's a much more efficient way to work with strings by using an F in front of the opening double quotation marks or sing quotation marks if that's what you're using and including the varable name in curly braces this will print the name entered to screen so notice we've now got print Open brackets F hell my name is name in curly braces to run the program let's say we use the command Python 3 and the name of our program which is FST string. py we prompted to enter our name let's say it's John in this example and notice the output is hello my name is John as you can hopefully see this method is much more flexible than working with conc had a nation
