f string formatting code example

Example 1: python f-strings

>>> name = "Fred"
>>> f"He said his name is {name!r}."
"He said his name is 'Fred'."
>>> f"He said his name is {repr(name)}."  # repr() is equivalent to !r
"He said his name is 'Fred'."
>>> width = 10
>>> precision = 4
>>> value = decimal.Decimal("12.34567")
>>> f"result: {value:{width}.{precision}}"  # nested fields
'result:      12.35'
>>> today = datetime(year=2017, month=1, day=27)
>>> f"{today:%B %d, %Y}"  # using date format specifier
'January 27, 2017'
>>> f"{today=:%B %d, %Y}" # using date format specifier and debugging
'today=January 27, 2017'
>>> number = 1024
>>> f"{number:#0x}"  # using integer format specifier
'0x400'
>>> foo = "bar"
>>> f"{ foo = }" # preserves whitespace
" foo = 'bar'"
>>> line = "The mill's closed"
>>> f"{line = }"
'line = "The mill\'s closed"'
>>> f"{line = :20}"
"line = The mill's closed   "
>>> f"{line = !r:20}"
'line = "The mill\'s closed" '

Example 2: python f string

# f-strings help in string concatenation
name = 'Psych4_3.8.3'
age = 23
job = 'programmer'

#USING OLD METHOD
print("I am %s a %t of age %u", %(name, job, age))

# USING F-STRING
print(f"I am {name} a {job} of age {age}")
# here you can even see whcih value is inserted in which place....
# the f means that it is an f string. DONT FORGET IT!!

Example 3: format specificer f strings python

#!/usr/bin/env python3

val = 12.3

print(f'{val:.2f}')
print(f'{val:.5f}')
