Day 28 - String Formatting in Python

The document explains string formatting in Python using the format method and f-strings. F-strings, introduced by PEP 498, allow for easier interpolation of Python expressions within string literals. Examples demonstrate how to use both formatting methods effectively.

Day 28- String formatting in python

String formatting can be done in python using the format method.

txt = "For only {price:.2f} dollars!"


print(txt.format(price = 49))

f-strings in python

It is a new string formatting mechanism introduced by the PEP 498. It is also known as
Literal String Interpolation or more commonly as F-strings (f character preceding the
string literal). The primary focus of this mechanism is to make the interpolation easier.

When we prefix the string with the letter 'f', the string becomes the f-string itself. The f-
string can be formatted in much same as the str.format() method. The f-string offers a
convenient way to embed Python expression inside string literals for formatting.

Example

val = 'Geeks'
print(f"{val}for{val} is a portal for {val}.")
name = 'Tushar'
age = 23
print(f"Hello, My name is {name} and I'm {age} years old.")

Output:

Hello, My name is Tushar and I'm 23 years old.

In the above code, we have used the f-string to format the string. It evaluates at
runtime; we can put all valid Python expressions in them.

We can use it in a single statement as well.

Example

print(f"{2 * 30})"
Output:

60
