Python f-strings

  • by

Python f-strings called formatted string literals, have a more succinct syntax and can be super helpful in string formatting. To create f-strings, you only need to add an f  or an F before the opening quotes of your string.

f"This is an f-string {var_name} and {var_name}."

Note: F-strings is faster than the two most commonly used string formatting mechanisms, which are % formatting and str.format()

Python f-strings

Simple example code.

language = "Python"
website = "EyeHunts.com"

print(f"I'm learning {language} from {website}.")

Output:

Python f-strings

Evaluate Expressions with Python f-Strings

Let’s do a multiplication of 2 numbers.

num1 = 83
num2 = 9
print(f"The product of {num1} and {num2} is {num1 * num2}.")

Output: The product of 10 and 9 is 90.

Use Conditionals if..else statements

if condition:
  # if condition is True
else:
  # if condition is False

Or

<true_block> if <condition> else <false_block>

Example: number is even if it’s evenly divisible by 2.

num = 100;
print(f"Is num even: {True if num % 2 == 0 else False}")

Output: Is num even: True

Call Methods

author = "John"
a_name = author.title()

print(f"This is a book by {a_name}.")

Call Functions Inside

def choice(c):
    if c % 2 == 0:
        return "Learn Python!"
    else:
        return "Learn JavaScript!"


print(f"Tell me what I should learn: {choice(3)}")

Output: Tell me what I should learn: Learn JavaScript!
