Exercise 6
Go back to: General discussion
Here's my source code and output with part 1 and 2 of Extra credit included:
--- Source Code ---
# x assigned to a string replacing %d with 10
x = "There are %d types of people." % 10
# binary assigned to the str "binary" for later use
binary = "binary"
# the same with do_not
do_not = "don't"
# replace both %s with the variables binary and do_not
# 2 strings inside a string were the %s is
y = "Those who know %s and those who %s." % (binary, do_not)
# print the variable x
print x
# same with y
print y
# print I said and then what you said
# 1 string inside a string
print "I said : %r." % x
# print I also said and the other line you said
# 1 string inside a string
print "I also said: '%s'." % y
# assign hilarious to false
hilarious = False
# assign joke_evaluation to Isn't that joke funny? and leave the value of %r as none
joke_evaluation = "Isn't that joke so funny?! %r"
# print joke_eavluation using hilarious as %r
print joke_evaluation % hilarious
# assign w to the string
w = "This is the left side of..."
# assign e to another string
e = "a string with a right side."
# print both w and e
print w + e
EXTRA CREDIT
Parts 1 and 2 I've done in the source code
part 3 is false because when we assigned hilarious to false we didn't use quotes because it's a value not a string
part 4 : in python if you add string you simply put them together so 'i'+'i' would be 'ii'
BTW try multiplying strings
--- Output ---
There are 10 types of people.
Those who know binary and those who don't.
I said : 'There are 10 types of people.'.
I also said: 'Those who know binary and those who don't.'.
Isn't that joke so funny?! False
This is the left side of...a string with a right side.

hmm so we can add strings together and multiply strings. But we can't divide string it seem. "aaaa"/4 didn't give me an a :(.
In python we can only use (+,*) with strings , because that operations are arithmetic means deal just with numbers .
The facility in python by using (+) helps us to combine strings together ;for instance the output of "1"+"2" same as '1'+'2' is 12.
Also using (*) operation is used to repeat string number of times for example: print "Hello "*3, will produce
Hello Hello Hello.
Hope that was helpful!
Here's my program...it generated the desired output so I am pleased about that. I think, however, I am the butt of the binary joke there. Because I don't quite get it! :-)
x = "There are %d types of people." % 10
binary = "binary"
do_not = "don't"
y = "Those who know %s and those who %s." % (binary, do_not)
print x
print y
print "I said: %r." % x
print "I also said: '%s'." % y
hilarious = False
joke_evaluation = "Isn't that joke so funny?! %r"
print joke_evaluation % hilarious
w = "This is the left side of..."
e = "a string with a right side."
print w + e
@Dorene on the binary joke: (there are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't). Remember in binary the number 2 is represented with 10. Got it now?
So you are the other type :) Here's a good material on how to count in binary - http://redd.it/9oabt
