In Python a string of required formatting can be achieved by different methods.
Some of them are ;
1) Using %
2) Using {}
3) Using Template Strings
In this article the formatting using % is discussed.
The formatting using % is similar to that of ‘printf’ in C programming language.
%d – integer
%f – float
%s – string
%x – hexadecimal
%o – octal
The below example describes the use of formatting using % in Python
# Python program to demonstrate the use of formatting using % # Initialize variable as a string variable = '15'string = "Variable as string = %s" %(variable) print (string ) # Printing as raw data # Thanks to Himanshu Pant for this print ("Variable as raw data = %r" %(variable)) # Convert the variable to integer # And perform check other formatting options variable = int(variable) # Without this the below statement # will give error. string = "Variable as integer = %d" %(variable) print (string) print ("Variable as float = %f" %(variable)) # printing as any string or char after a mark # here i use mayank as a string print ("Variable as printing with special char = %cmayank" %(variable)) print ("Variable as hexadecimal = %x" %(variable))print ("Variable as octal = %o" %(variable)) |
Output :
Variable as string = 15 Variable as raw data = '15' Variable as integer = 15 Variable as float = 15.000000 Variable as printing with special char = mayank Variable as hexadecimal = f Variable as octal = 17
