Really good quality teaching of the .format() function. I had no idea that there was so much more to it than I already knew. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos. Thanks 👍

Thanks Joe
I struggled with this function for some time until I came across your video which was nicely paced, with very clear, step-by-step explanations. It now makes sense to me.

Are the format for the variables the same for .format and f"" string ?

[judeleon]

Thanks Joe, you are always great at explaining stuff. What about built-in format function. It's so rare to have it talked about. Can you say something about it. I don't mean the format method that takes the syntax string.format(), I mean the function format(strin, spec)

Sir i have a doubt..for integer and float..without using this (:d) &(:f) i get the same output ..
Example {:>5} instead of {:>5d} & {:>5f}
Gives the same output..
Then why are we using d and f..we can simply use {:>5} right?
Please explain this

GREAT VIDEO. At 15:00 you do an example of unpacking a dictionary. How would you write the same thing using an "f string" rather than writing out .format(**jobs)?? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Hi Joe! Thanks for this video. Could you tel me something about numbers formating to time with format function, pls. I mean, I have numbers (hours, minutes, seconds) and i would like to format like this "00:00:00". Thanks a lot.

Great course. Thanks Joe, one quick question - why this statement won't work then? >> print('Final scores is {s[-1]}'.format(s=scores))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#11>", line 1, in <module>
print('Final scores is {s[-1]}'.format(s=scores))
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

misleading title. This is a METHOD, not a FUNCTION.
