Why is print(“text” + str(var1) + “more text” + str(var2)) described as “disapproved”?

Question

Why is the code below termed \'age-old disapproved method\' of printing in the comment by \'Snakes and Coffee\' to Blender\'s post of Print multiple arguments in python? Does it

Answer 1

It is considered old because you can use 'better' ways to format it with the introduction of python 3 (and later versions of python 2).

print("Total score for "+str(name)"+ is "+str(score))

Could be written as: print("Total score for %s is %s" % (name, score))

Although there are a multitude of different ways you can format print in later versions of python 2 and above.

What is up above is technically old as well, this is another way to do it in later versions of python 2 and above.

print('Total score for {} is {}'.format(name, score)
