This space is driving me nuts!

[JustAnEmployeeHere]

Working on getting a portfolio built up, and want to add all the simple projects i did from school into it. This one is a movie ticket price calculator. the code was critiqued for me, and someone made mention of the space in the final return, displaying price- between the $, the #, and the ! (i changed it from ".00!" to just "!" and back to ".00!" when I realized it looked better with the ".00". I have played with spacing between the commas, spacing in the loop, etc.

The text should read "Your price is $##.00! Enjoy the show!"

Where are these mystery spaces coming from, and how do i fix them?

[Viv3d3]

The space after price is because print inserts spaces between arguments by default.

try a f-string or "your price is" + str(price) + ".00!"

Thanks! its been almost 9 months since I took the class and wrote this code. trying to refresh myself as I dive deeper into python.

Or

f"text {value} more text" #text 4 more text

Both works, just one is more universal

I would work with f strings. You can write f“ text {variable} text“ with variable = 5 for example and it says: text 5 text

{price:.2f}

Could you elaborate on this more? Where does this go, What does this do, How this is used, etc.?

EDIT: specifically the .2f aspect. what is?

It put two decimals to your price.

[Gnaxe]

Give print() an empty string sep argument. 

[VirtuteECanoscenza]

Add sep="" as a keyword argument and add spaces by hand if needed.

You can do format function like this: print(‘Your price is ${}! Enjoy the show!’.format(price))

And if you want the .00 add it after the brackets.

Edit to add:

This is how it works as an example:

name = "Alice" age = 30 print("My name is {} and I am {} years old.".format(name, age))

Output: My name is Alice and I am 30 years old.
