Python format function tutorial: Formatting output: strings, floats, integers, columns

In this video, I demonstrate using Python's built in format function for formatting output in the Python shell.

Examples include formatting strings, floating point numbers, percents, field width, integers, e notation, formatting output into columns, and more.

An alternative to using the format function is to use format strings. You can watch a video I did covering them here:

This was very well laid out and easy to understand, best tutorial I've come across on formatting in Python.

Great Python videos! So far, I've watched a number of them in your "Python Programming for Everyone" playlist and they all have been informative with all of the information presented in a logical sequence. I also have enjoyed seeing IDLE on the right and the Python Shell on the left; this makes for a very fast yet concise way of demonstrating small pieces of the language. Nicely done! I found your videos by looking for beginner Python videos using IDLE; it seems most of the other beginner tuts start by adding the extra complexity of learning an IDE outside of what comes with Python. Thanks again for these videos. I'm just getting back to Python after being away from it for quite a while (it's a hobby, not my day job) and have refreshed what I had learned before but also learned some new things.

Great video. I am trying to learn Python, so I wrote a program to answer Leonardo of Pisa's rabbit problem. I generated the right answer, but I needed to format my output. This video is a great help. Thanks, Dennis Quane

Great video. Sometime in the future could you explain how I could send my program in python to a friend?
