I am trying to format the string so everything lines up between the two.
APPLES $.99 214 kiwi $1.09 755
I am trying this by doing:
fmt = ('{0:30}{1:30}{2:30}'.format(Fruit,price,qty))
How would I get a column to line up? I read the docs but I am confused. I was thinking that the {1:30}
would make it 30 spaces, then it would print the next item, but it appears that it is 30 spaces from where the previous item ended.
Thanks
In Windows, a new line is denoted using “\r\n”, sometimes called a Carriage Return and Line Feed, or CRLF. Adding a new line in Java is as simple as including “\n” , “\r”, or “\r\n” at the end of our string.
2f means to round up to two decimal places. You can play around with the code to see what happens as you change the number in the formatter.
str.format()
is making your fields left aligned within the available space. Use alignment specifiers to change the alignment:
'<'
Forces the field to be left-aligned within the available space (this is the default for most objects).
'>'
Forces the field to be right-aligned within the available space (this is the default for numbers).
'='
Forces the padding to be placed after the sign (if any) but before the digits. This is used for printing fields in the form ‘+000000120’. This alignment option is only valid for numeric types.
'^'
Forces the field to be centered within the available space.
Here's an example (with both left and right alignments):
>>> for args in (('apple', '$1.09', '80'), ('truffle', '$58.01', '2')): ... print '{0:<10} {1:>8} {2:>8}'.format(*args) ... apple $1.09 80 truffle $58.01 2
With python3 f-strings (not your example but mine):
alist = ["psi", "phi", "omg", "chi1", "chi2", "chi3", "chi4", "chi5", "tau"] for ar in alist: print(f"{ar: >8}", end=" ") print() for ar in alist: ang = ric.get_angle(ar) print(f"{ang:8.4}", end=" ") print()
generates
psi phi omg chi1 chi2 chi3 chi4 chi5 tau 4.574 -85.28 178.1 -62.86 -65.01 -177.0 80.83 8.611 115.3
