Just screwing around making up practice problems. I can't get the
format right. I am trying to learn how to get a output line to line
up neatly.
import random

fm=len(str(hi)) # This counts the digits of the input number
print fm
a=random.randrange(lo,hi+1)
count=0
guess=0
while guess != a:
guess=random.randrange(lo,hi + 1)
print "guess =",
print "{:8d}".format(guess), #what I would like to do is use
the variable fm instead of the number 8 here so the number of fields
are the same as the input number.
count+=1
if guess==a:
print " The hidden number was",a
print
print "You guessed right in ",
if guess >a:
print " Guess Lower"
hi=guess
if guess < a:
lo=guess
print " Guess Higher"
print count
print " turns"
The part of the format placeholder that specifies the width can also be
placeholder, like this:
print "{:{}d}".format(guess, fm)
