Multiple Assignment,String Operations,Printing with Python

Multiple Assignment

•You can also assign to multiple names at the same time. 

•

>>> x, y = 2, 3

>>> x

2

>>> y

3

String Operations

•We can use some methods built-in to the string data type to 

perform some formatting operations on strings:

>>> “hello”.upper()

‘HELLO’

•

•There are many other handy string operations available.  Check 

the Python documentation for more.

Printing with Python

•You can print a string to the screen using “print.”

•Using the % string operator in combination with the print

 command, we can format our output text. 

>>> print  “%s xyz %d”  %  (“abc”, 34)

abc xyz 34

  “Print” automatically adds a newline to the end of the string.  

If you include a list of strings, it will concatenate them with a

space between them.

>>>print “abc” >>> print “abc”,“def”

abc  abc def

in python 3

   syntax is  print (“%s xyz %d”  %  (“abc”, 34))
