Hi Sats
Tried two methods...

Your_name = 'Rich'
Favorite_color = 'purple'

# method 1
print("Hello World, my name is", Your_name, ", my favorite color is", Favorite_color )

# method 2
print(f'Hello World, my name is {Your_name}, my favorite color is {Favorite_color} ')

print (type(Your_name))
print (type(Favorite_color))

Hello World, my name is Rich, my favorite color is purple
Hello World, my name is Rich, my favorite color is purple
<class 'str'>
<class 'str'>

[venkadesh]

Output:
Hello World, My name is Venki, and my favorite color is Blue
Data type of Hello World is <class 'str'>
Data type of Venki is <class 'str'>
Data type of Blue is <class 'str'>

'''
Code:
print(f'{string1}, My name is {name}, and my favorite color is {fav_color}')
print(f'Data type of {string1} is ', type(string1))
print(f'Data type of {name} is ', type(name))
print(f'Data type of {fav_color} is ', type(fav_color))
'''

name= 'my name is Hector'
colour= 'blue'
print(f'Hello world '+name+' my favorite colour is '+colour)

the commenting shortcut for windows is similar to mac. its 'ctrl' + '/'

[nitusidhu]

world='Hello World, '
name='my name is Sats '
color='and my favorite color is Blue'
print(world+name+color)

Hi Sats,

I tried this out, ->print(f'{string_a}.today I am {int_b}.years old{float_c}')
and got this error message: line 11
print(format'{string_a}.today I am {int_b}.years old{float_c}')
^
Could you tell me how to fix this?

[igorbuzov]

Hi!

Great video! Could you please give clarification?

# Code 1:
name = "Tom"
age =35

print ("Hello", name, "you are ", age, " years old!")

# in this case we don't need to change the type of numerical variable age

# Code 2

print ("Hello " + name + " you are " + str(age) + " years old!")

# In this case we have to change the type of the variable age, from int to str. Could you clarify
# why in one case we have to change the type and in other case we don't have to change the type?

first time using python here, I downloaded 3.7.4 and it looks different from your video. If I type a parenthesis it automatically doesnt make the 2nd one, and I cant seem to type 2lines of code because if I hit enter it just runs the first line immediately
