Exercise 6: Strings and Text

While you have been writing strings, you still do not know what they do. In this exercise we create a bunch of variables with complex strings so you can see what they are for. First an explanation of strings.

x = "There are %d types of people." % 10

binary = "binary"

do_not = "don't"

y = "Those who know %s and those who %s." % (binary, do_not)

print (x)

print (y)

print ("I said: %r." % x)

print ("I also said: '%s'." % y)

hilarious = False

joke_evaluation = "Isn't that joke so funny?! %r"

print (joke_evaluation % hilarious)

w = "This is the left side of..."

e = "a string with a right side."

print (w + e)

>>> =============== RESTART =================

>>> 

There are 10 types of people.

Those who know binary and those who don't.

I said: 'There are 10 types of people.'.

I also said: 'Those who know binary and those who don't.'.

Isn't that joke so funny?! False

This is the left side of...a string with a right side.

>>> 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

x = "There are %d types of people." % 10 binary = "binary" do_not = "don't" y = "Those who know %s and those who %s." % (binary, do_not) print x print y print "I said: %r." % x print "I also said: '%s'." % y hilarious = False joke_evaluation = "Isn't that joke so funny?! %r" print joke_evaluation % hilarious w = "This is the left side of..." e = "a string with a right side." print w + e

What You Should See

$ python ex6.py
There are 10 types of people.
Those who know binary and those who don't.
I said: 'There are 10 types of people.'.
I also said: 'Those who know binary and those who don't.'.
