As you can see, it's very much longer than the 72 characters suggested in
the PEP 8 found here: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
Use a triple quoted string for multiline output
output = """
At an average weekly savings of \t$%.02f,
your monthly savings will be \t$%.02f.
Your annual savings will be \t$%.02f.
""" % (diff, monthly_savings, annual_savings)
print output
I know it would be fairly trivial to split it up into several strings,
and
concatenating or printing each one.
Multiline strings are designed to save you having to do that.
Alan, you have a couple of \n that the OP did not ask for.
Wayne, besides Alan's suggestion you might be looking for something
like :
Output = ('At an average weekly savings of $%.02f, your monthly '
'savings will be $%.02f. \n Your annual savings will'
' be $%.02f.') % (diff, monthly_savings, annual_savings)
or :
Output = (
'At an average weekly savings of $%.02f, your monthly '
'savings will be $%.02f. \n Your annual savings will'
' be $%.02f.'
) % ( diff
, monthly_savings
, annual_savings)
Or whatever. Parenthesis will help a lot when formatting your code.
