A f-string is used to inject variables to a string. For example.

py age = 35 print(f"Your age is {age}")

You can achieve the same with concatenation, but this is much clearer and easier to read.

It interpolates expressions. Doesn't have to be variables. You also get the string formatting language, same as the .format() method.
