How can I print variable and string on same line in Python?

Question

I am using python to work out how many children would be born in 5 years if a child was born every 7 seconds. The problem is on my last line. How do I get a variable to work

Answer 1

use String formatting

print("If there was a birth every 7 seconds, there would be: {} births".format(births))
 # Will replace "{}" with births

if you doing a toy project use:

print('If there was a birth every 7 seconds, there would be:' births'births) 

or

print('If there was a birth every 7 seconds, there would be: %d births' %(births))
# Will replace %d with births

Answer 2

Python is a very versatile language. You may print variables by different methods. I have listed below five methods. You may use them according to your convenience.

Example:

a = 1
b = 'ball'

Method 1:

print('I have %d %s' % (a, b))

Method 2:

print('I have', a, b)

Method 3:

print('I have {} {}'.format(a, b))

Method 4:

print('I have ' + str(a) + ' ' + b)

Method 5:

print(f'I have {a} {b}')

The output would be:

I have 1 ball

Answer 3

On a current python version you have to use parenthesis, like so :

print ("If there was a birth every 7 seconds", X)

Answer 4

As of python 3.6 you can use Literal String Interpolation.

births = 5.25487
>>> print(f'If there was a birth every 7 seconds, there would be: {births:.2f} births')
If there was a birth every 7 seconds, there would be: 5.25 births

Answer 5

You can either use the f-string or .format() methods

Using f-string

print(f'If there was a birth every 7 seconds, there would be: {births} births')

Using .format()

print("If there was a birth every 7 seconds, there would be: {births} births".format(births=births))

Answer 6

use string format :

birth = 5.25487
print(f'''
{birth} 
''')
