Study Notes

String Formatting

String formatting can be done with the .format() method
Example:
- print('I study at {0} {1} and I am {2} years old.'.format(Uni_name_1, Uni_name_2, Age))
Output:
- I study at Khalifa University and I am 18 years old.

Literal Constants: Strings

A string is a collection of characters
Can be written using single quotes ('HELLO') or double quotes ("HELLO")
Strings in double quotes are identical to strings in single quotes

Python IDE

Use the IDE provided in Lab0 to run Python code.
Example:
- a = 4
- b = 5
- print(a > 1 or b > 1)
Output: True

Logical Operators

The Logical NOT operator takes a single expression and negates the value.
The Logical AND operator combines two or more expressions using the and keyword.
The Logical OR operator combines two or more expressions using the or keyword.

`.format()` Method

The .format() method can be used to format strings.
The order of arguments in the .format() method does not need to match the order in the string.
Example:
- print('I study at {2} {0} and I am {1} years old.'.format(Uni_name_1, Uni_name_2, Age))
This will print:
- I study at 18 Khalifa and I am University years old.
