Formatting Output
Let’s get some practice!

2. Formatting a String
x = format (“Name”, “>20s”) print (x) >> Name x = format (“Name”, “*>20s”) >> ****************Name

3. Formatting Patterns
a = / 6 print ( format( a, “.3f” ) ) # 3 digits after “.” >> print ( format( a, “,.3f” ) ) # 3 digits and commas >> 16, print ( format( a, “>20,.3f” ) ) # 3 digits, commas and 20 >> 16, characters, right justified

4. Programming Challenge
Try this one again, but with the format( ) function
Print an output like this:
Car Name Interest Rate Price
BMW % $ 79,435.60
Mercedes Benz 4.2% $ 119,324.54
Bentley % $234,674.93

5. Formatting Percentages
The “%” sign converts a number into a percentage by multiplying it by 100 and then adding the “%” symbol
a = 0.52
print ( format( a, “ % ” ) )
>> %
print ( format( a, “ .2% ” ) ) # percentage with 2 digits
>> % after decimal point

6. Formatting Integer
We can also add commas after each group of three digits
The letter “d” is not necessary but denotes decimal notation
print ( format( 20000, “ ,d ” ) )
>> 20,000
print ( format( , “ >20, ” ) )
>> ,000

7. Formatting Numbers
The letter “b” converts a number into binary notation
x = format(137, “b”)
print(x)
>>

8. Formatting Numbers
This can be useful later on, but the letter “c” converts a number in decimal notation into it’s character from the UNICODE table
print( format(68, “c”), format(69, “c”) , sep = “” )
>> DE

9. Formatting Numbers x = format(15647, “x”) print(x) >> 3d1f
For those of you interested in this kind of thing, the letter “x” actually converts a number into hexadecimal notation
x = format(15647, “x”)
print(x)
>> 3d1f

10. Programming Challenge
Write a program that asks the user for three different items they would like to buy. Ask them for the price of each item and output something that looks like this:
Item Price
Bananas > $
Milk > $
Bread > $

11. Programming Challenge
Ask the user for four different numbers and then try getting an output like this:
Decimal Binary UNICODE A B C D
