In this article, we would like to show you how to format strings in Python.
Quick solution:
color = "red"
text = "The apple is {}."
print(text.format(color)) # The apple is red.
Practical examples
Example 1
In this example, to format the string we use format() method that takes the passed arguments and puts them in the place of the placeholders {}.
name = "Tom"
age = 25
text = "This is my friend {}, he is {}."
print(text.format(name, age))
Output:
This is my friend Tom, he is 25.
Example 2
You can also specify the placeholders order by using numbered indexes ({0}, {1}) or named indexes ({name}, {age}).
name = "Tom"
age = 25
text = "This is my friend {1}, he is {0}."
print(text.format(age, name))
or
text = "This is my friend {name}, he is {age}."
print(text.format(name="Tom", age=25))
Output:
This is my friend Tom, he is 25.
