This is from our very first class, so I apologize for the simple cringe.  

I am trying to write a program in Python that will output my name, favorite color, and number.  (Mike, blue, and 13)

Code

>>> my_name = "Mike"
>>> fav_color = "blue"
>>> lucky_num = "13"
print(my_name, "favorite color is", fav_color, "and lucky number is", lucky_num)

I was hoping that this would give me the output of: "Mike favorite color is blue and lucky number is 13"

------------------
To cheat I did this:

Code

print("Mike favorite color is blue and lucky number is 13")

Any help would be appreciated guys.  

**the class meets once a week and this is our only assignment this week.

you need to use a "+" instead of commas when using the variables

you need to use a "+" instead of commas when using the variables

So something like this?

Code

my_name = "Mike"
fav_color = "blue"
lucky_num = "13"
print(my_name+"favorite color is", fav_color+"and lucky number is"+lucky_num)

I like to use the .format function that belongs to strings. So you could do this/

Code

print(“{} favorite color is {} and his lucky number is {}”.format(“Mike”,”blue”,13))

Code

print(“{} favorite color is {} and his lucky number is {}”.format(“Mike”,”blue”,13))

Please use this rather than concatenating strings

use + instead of commas, it will work then

my_name = "Mike"
fav_color = "blue"
lucky_num = "13"
print(my_name+"favorite color is", fav_color+"and lucky number is"+lucky_num)

PHP Code


<?php 
my_name = "Mike"
fav_color = "blue"
lucky_num = "13"
print(my_name + " favorite color is " + fav_color + " and lucky number is " + lucky_num) 


But please use string.format instead as suggested above

So you're giving an example that he should, in your opinion, not use, and instead recommend something that you acknowledge has already been posted? Why are you even posting? No surprise you're at 13k post count.

Because the example I posted is what OP was trying to accomplish with the commas and nobody gave a proper example. It's always good to know about multiple approaches, which ones you shouldn't use and which ones you should. But thanks for your input, prick.

This would be correct, but you should use your defined variables instead, incase the string value's change.

Code

print(“{}, favorite color is {}, and his lucky number is {}”.format(my_name, fav_color, lucky_num))
