Operator meaning explanation

[Sherine]

Hi,

I have a question.

name = "Giraffe" score = 80 print("%s result as %d" % (name, score))

Output:
Giraffe result as 80

What meaning for the % sign place before (name, score)?

Thanks

It's just the old way of allowing you to substitute the values of those variables for the placeholders (%s and %d) in the string, as the output shows. These days, you should be using f-strings, though.

print("%s result as %d" % (name, score))
is old style print statement, you should use f-string:
print(f"{name} result as {score}")
