Learning Python
Can also be official topic 
Anyways, I'm learning python from learnpython.org and I admit it's the best programming language I've tried so far! (Excluding Scratch obviously 
)
I'm kinda stuck with the strings and stuff.
What has %s and %d got to do with anything?

Re: Learning Python
There is a python official topic created by nickbrickmaster a while back. I'll try and find the link.
EDIT: Here it is.

Re: Learning Python
Python's great. You knew I would post here.
I think either %s or %d are used like this:
Code:
print("Your name is %s.", "Matt")Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

Re: Learning Python
I got it a couple of days ago (along with about five others), but I haven't even opened it yet.

Re: Learning Python
The way that things like %s work, is you type %s somewhere in your string, and then after your closing quote you say % followed by what you want to replace the %s with. For example, you could say print("Hello %s!" % "World"), and you would get "Hello World!". The letter is for the type. %s is string, %d is double (or decimal number), and I think that %i is integer (whole number). Anyway, yeah, it's great.

Re: Learning Python
%s is for when you want the value to be interpreted as a (s)tring, and %d is for when you want the value to be interpreted as a (d)ecimal integer.
Here's some examples:
>>> print('Hello %s' % ('Steve'))
Hello Steve
>>> print('Hello %s' % ('3.14'))
Hello 3.14
>>> print('Hello %s' % (3.14))
Hello 3.14
>>> print('Hello %d' % (3.14))
Hello 3
>>> print('Hello %d' % ('Steve'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: %d format: a number is required, not str
