Formatting Code Python
PythonPython formatting codes
The on-line python documentation for the complete set of formatting codes can be found at http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations and goes further than this quick document. We have tried to select the most useful codes here. Strings We consider the string “Hello, world!”. Formatting code %s %20s %-20s %3s Hello, world! 'Hello, world' ' Hello, world!' 'Hello, world! ' 'Hello, world'
Integers We consider the integers 12,345 and -12,345. Formatting code %d %20d %-20d %020d %+d %+20d %+-20d %+020d %3d 12,345 '12345' ' 12345' '12345 ' '00000000000000012345' '+12345' ' +12345' '+12345 ' '+0000000000000012345' '12345' -12,345 '-12345' ' -12345' '-12345 ' '-0000000000000012345' '-12345' ' -12345' '-12345 ' '-0000000000000012345' '-12345'
Floating point numbers We consider the floating point numbers 12·34567 and -12·34. The %f formatting code presents data in decimal notation. The %e code does it in exponential form.
