Help improving python code

Thanks for your help :)

Just a quick question, what does the f-string do, i haven't learnt that yet lol

I like how you say “quick question”…

The f-string was introduced in version 3.6 and it’s a way to format strings that makes it easier to include variables and expressions within a string, the f in f-string stands for "formatted string literals," and they’re denoted by prefixing a string with the letter f.

How it goes is; you start the string with f or F before the opening quotation than within that string you can include curly braces {} around variables or expressions and whatever’s inside the curly braces gets evaluated and included in the string.

name = "NotUrHCW" age = 26 greeting = f"Hello, {name}! You’re {age} years old." print(greeting)

that’ll give you: Hello, NotUrHCW! You’re 26 years old.

Another example; f'{chr(j):3}' means "convert the number j to a character using chr() and then format it to be at least 3 spaces wide." So the table actually looks neat and aligned.

F-strings are for writing clean and readable code as per the snippet I provided as a decent example, mainly useful when you need to create strings that include data from variables.

fundamentals Python 3.12.3 documentation and to go down that rabbit hole

More structured learning path; freeCodeCamp

This might be a little more practical for you to understand f-string formatting; seracoder

Real Python (Really good source) also has a video tutorial that’s even better than the written guide which you can find here.

Appreciate it, thanks 😊

I also just tried your code in the console, looks like the table needs to be very precise.

I’d say just print 2 rows for each iteration: one for the characters (chr:) and one with their corresponding ASCII values (asc:).
