You'll find an introduction to old style formatting in my
tutorial topic "Simple Sequences".
In that style you would write your print statement as:
print("Your response was %s! Please enter %s or %s for your response!"
% (answer, p, n) ) # note can be one line...
I only wrapped the line for email formatting...
In new style (V3) formatting your line looks like:
print("Your response was {0}! \
Please enter {1} or {2} for your response!".format(answer, p, n) )
Again it should be one line.
V3 formatting is described here:
http://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#formatstrings
And to make it more real, here are the examples:
