Printing and defining strings as variables in Python is essential, and in almost any Python program, you will probably come across this need.
In this post, we will define a string variable that holds a string and print it with extra text around it. For more Python posts, please visit the Python category page.
Format String
In Python, we define a string with double quotes (” “) or a single quote (‘ ‘) . By doing that, Python knows we are working with a string.
Let’s go ahead and defined a string using the following line.
blog_url = 'DevelopRuntime.com'
Print a String Variable
Now that we have our string variable defined and set, let’s go ahead and print it out.
To print a string variable, we need to follow the following rules.
- We need to put the latter f before we print
- We need to put the variable inside {}
Let’s get into action and print our string using the following code.
blog_url = 'DevelopRuntime.com'
print(f"The blog URL is: {blog_url}")
The outcome of the code is:
The blog URL is: DevelopRuntime.com
