How do I put a variable inside a string?

Question

I would like to put an int into a string. This is what I am doing at the moment:

num = 40
plot.savefig(\'hanning40.pdf\') #problem          


        

Answer 1

With the introduction of formatted string literals ("f-strings" for short) in Python 3.6, it is now possible to write this with a briefer syntax:

>>> name = "Fred"
>>> f"He said his name is {name}."
'He said his name is Fred.'

With the example given in the question, it would look like this

plot.savefig(f'hanning{num}.pdf')
