| age = 32 print(f"Age: {age}") Thus concludes the lecture on f-strings. |

| I find it funny and satisfying that Python has converged to it's own "printf", by which I mean print(f""). |

| It’s unclear what the big advantage is over `print("Age: "+age)`. It’s even more characters, in that specific example. |

| ▲ | kstrauser an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | If age is a number, that won’t work. | | |
| ▲ | layer8 an hour ago | parent [-] | | Admittedly I’m not so familiar with Python; it does work in Java. In that case, introducing a less hazardous string concatenation operator would seem more universally useful. | | |
| ▲ | kstrauser an hour ago | parent [-] | | In Python, that less hazardous string concatenation operator is an f-string. | | |
| ▲ | layer8 24 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I’m assuming you can only use it with string literals, hence it is less universally useful. |
