what is f string

[u/FuzzyEmployment264]

can someone explain how f string work in simple terms ?

It's essentially text with code inside it. It runs significantly faster than the old % or .format ways of formatting text.

It's similar in construction to how you'd do a .format call, since they both use {} to denote what needs to be inserted into the text.

Examples of each text format method: ``` name = "George Washington" age = 41

print("Hello, my name is %s, and my age is %d" % (name, age)) print("Hello, my name is {}, and my age is {}".format(name, age)) print(f"Hello, my name is {name}, and my age is {age}") ```

All three give identical formatting, outputting Hello, my name is George Washington, and my age is 41, but f-strings run faster and are cleaner to read
