Question 15

3 ways to print int variable in str with/without format: (no typecasting!)

Answer 15

print(‘Nobody expects the’, unexpected1, ‘!’)
^basic print we’re used to, adds a space as opposed to the formatted prints

print(f’Nobody expects the {unexpected2}!’)
^formatted, thus curly braces

print(f’Nobody expects the{unexpected3:25s}!’)
^formatted with 25 total spaces allotted (and taken up by the string), and as its a string it is put to the left

Question 16

strings are _____ justified, ints are ______ justified, and floats are ______ justified

Answer 16

left, right, right

Question 17

what is the string format specifier? float? int?

Answer 17

s, f, d

Question 18

print a float with a field width of 8 and 2 decimal numbers

Answer 18

print(f”The float entered is {myfloat:8.2f}”)

Question 19

what are the g and e specifiers?

Answer 19

g is for general format of floats, e is for scientific notation of floats.

g rounds to six total digits (left or right of decimal point). if the # of whole numbers exceeds 6, g converts the float into scientific notation to keep it at 6 digits.

ex.
pi = 3.1415926535
print(“what is {pi:g}”)
would return
what is 3.14159

print(f’The value is ${7223344.9912313123123:g}.’)
would return
The value is 7.22334+e06

or

print(“what is {pi:e}”)
would return
what is 3.141592e+00

Question 20

f vs g operator

Answer 20

f rounds to 6 decimals, g to 5

Question 21

print the float variable myfloat in e format

Answer 21

print(f’{myfloat:e}’)

Question 22

Write statements that will prompt the user for their favorite integer, and store it in an integer variable named favint.

Answer 22

string = input(“what’s your favorite integer? “)
favint = int(strint)

Question 23

how do you justify a formatted string left or right?

Answer 23

use the > or < symbol (pointing at the direction you want to justify)

ex. print(f’The string is {“hi there”:>12s}!!’)

justifies to the right
print(f’The string is {“hi there”:<12s}!!’)

justifies to the left

Question 24

true/false: printing a formatted string with a specified field width and a decimal length, such as 6.3f, will result in a value with the length and decimals NOT INCLUDING the decimal point

Answer 24

false, always includes decimal point

Question 25

what will this return:
print(f’The value is ${79.99:3.2f}.’)

Answer 25

The value is $79.99.

python does not remove any digits/the decimal point despite the field width being smaller than the float.

Question 26

what will this print:
print(f’And now for: {myword= :>10s}!!’)

Answer 26

And now for: myword= cool!!

Question 27

num = 0

Question 33
