Strings and f-strings

Strings are text. Some useful things you can do with them:

first = "Chirag"
last = "Kashyap"
print(first + " " + last)   # Chirag Kashyap   (+ joins strings)
print("ha" * 3)             # hahaha           (* repeats)
print(len(first))           # 6                (len counts characters)

You can't join a string and a number with +. "Age: " + 21 gives an error. Convert it first with str(21), or use an f-string.

f-strings

Put f before the quotes, and write variables inside { }. This is the easiest way to build sentences:

name = "Riya"
marks = 88
print(f"{name} scored {marks} marks")   # Riya scored 88 marks
print(f"Next year: {marks + 2}")        # you can even do maths inside { }
