Printing Text and Blank Lines<\/h2>\n
\r\nprint('This is a heading')\r\nprint()\r\nprint('This is another heading')\r\n<\/pre>\n
Printing Variables (for debugging)<\/h2>\n
\r\n#\r\nprint(dice)\r\n#\r\n<\/pre>\n
Printing Text and Variables (requires Python 3.6)<\/h2>\n
There must be an “f” before the first apostrophe, otherwise what is inside the curly brackets will be printed exactly.
\nThis is called an “f-string” (formatted-string)<\/p>\n
\r\n#\r\nprint(f'The capital of {country} is {capital}.')\r\n#\r\n<\/pre>\n
Printing in Columns\u00a0(requires Python 3.6)<\/h2>\n
Each variable can be given a width, extra spaces will be added if needed.<\/p>\n
\r\n#\r\nprint(f'The capital of {country:15} is {capital:15}.')\r\n#\r\n<\/pre>\n
Printing Decimals\u00a0(requires Python 3.6)<\/h2>\n
Floating-point numbers can be printed out to a specified number of decimal places.<\/p>\n
This is not the same as rounding the numbers, which is permanent.<\/p>\n
\r\n#\r\nprint(f'Price = \u00a3{price:.2f}')\r\n#\r\n<\/pre>\n
Printing in Colour<\/h1>\n
This not required for the course, but does can easily make your programs more user friendly.<\/p>\n
