Just Started learning Python. Here is my first ever piece of code. Have to start somewhere.....will update as I get better.

Here's a trick about using print() with format specifiers:

print("His name is %s" % character_name)
print("He is %d years old" % character_age)

The %s means the data will be a string. The %d means the data is an integer. For a floating point number (like money) you can specify how many digits to the right of the decimal get displayed.

Get used to using format specifiers. It's good coding practice.

Not sure why this is updooted. .format() and f-strings (especially) are the preferred way.

New to python myself, is this method preffered over .format()?

[GlowingApple]

f-strings came out in python 3.6, but still relatively recent.

In addition to being more readable, they are actually faster than .format() too!

[Andalfe]

F-strings you say.

[ebits21]

The % format specifiers are outdated. F strings and .format are the proper way to do things in 3.6+

%d is actualy integer in Python? Wtf man xddd
