I've had to cut n paste everything to write this which is a pain... >>> print '{0} was {1} years old when he wrote this book'.format(name, age) >>> print 'Why is {0} playing with that python?'.format(name) # I no that the code will give you the same output even without numbers: Yes the numbers are not needed here but consider this example: >>> print "{0} loves {1} but {2} hates {0}!".format('Joe', 'food', 'Anne') Now you need the numbers because you are using the same value (0)twice. I'll look at the other issues in separate mails. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
