What are these two string-formatting styles called? '%.3f' % x '{0:.3f}'.format(x)
"String formatting", and "string formatting" *wink* Sometimes the first is called "string interpolation". Sometimes it is called "printf-style formatting", after the C function.
Where in the fine manual is their names shown? Thanks!
Like most things to do with strings, the place to start is the section on strings: http://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#text-sequence-type-str which leads to: http://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.format and http://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#printf-style-string-formatting For Python 2, start here instead: http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html -- Steven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
