How to use str.format() with a dictionary in python?

Question

What is wrong in this piece of code?

test = \"I have one {fruit} on the {place}.\".format(dic)
print(test)

&         


        

Answer 1

Should be

test = "I have one {fruit} on the {place}.".format(**dic)

Note the **. format() does not accept a single dictionary, but rather keyword arguments.
