Answer 1

If it is the last line you didnt understand, that is a new feature in Python 3 called an f-string. All it does is it lets you format strings in an easier and faster way. Here's an example:

Without f-strings:
>>> "My name is %s. I'm a %s at %s" % (name, job, company)
"My name is Shinsha. I'm a Software engineer at Google"

or

>>> "My name is {}. I'm a {} at {}".format(name, job, company)
"My name is Shinsha. I'm a Software engineer at Google"

Using an f-string:
>>> f"My name is {name}. I'm a {job} at {company}"
"My name is Shinsha. I'm a Software engineer at Google"

------------------

Here is a detailed explaination

If you didn't understand anything else, let me know :)

Answer 2

Add this before print(result)
print(end="")

Answer 3

Use this:

def convert(miles):
km=1.6* miles
print ("miles is ",end="")
return km

result1 = float(input("enter the km: "))
print (result1)

result1 = convert(result1)
print(result1)

This will print the input value after thr colones and afterwards convert and print the number.

If you don't want/need to print the input value, you can just add a \n to the end of input string to create a new line.

"enter the km: \n"

Answer 4

This is a problem with the sololearn's code playground. Your code would work just fine on another IDE, for example

But if you want to do it in code playground here's one way

Answer 5

Matthias Thank you so much it worked.

But is there anyway to show the output as only " miles is.. " without showing the kilometer input?

Answer 6

Only by avoiding a string in the input function. So just input()

But maybe this again a problem just in Sololearn, as Just A Rather Ridiculously Long Username mentioned.

Answer 7

print(f"{x} bla")
is formatted print. (that's why the f is at the beginning)
Everything in {} is replaced by the variable value.

another option would be
print("{} bla".format(x))

or based on the other code:
print('{} mi can be written as {} km'.format(inp, convert(inp)))

You see, there are many ways in Python 😅

Answer 8

Oh.. I see. Iam a Newbie. still at the basics.so this is definitely a new concept.

But Thank You So much. You helped me alot.

Answer 9

Not really. Only maintaing some sites part-time as a student job using HTML/PHP/SQL.
Plus some online app developement in Python and for scientific computing mostly C/C++ and Python

Answer 10

Matthias Great.. I know C and C++ .but only the basics.. infact i only know the basics of programming.. so im upgrading myself.

If you dont mind could you give me your Email id please?
so that i can ask you some guidance in terms of learning programming. i want to study SQL AND PHP.
But i dont have any friends who is learning/ learned programming language.

Don't worry i wont budge you with my questions.. Just a friend to ask/ and clear my doubts.

if you are not interested. its okay ill understand.
Anyway Thank you so much for your help.

Answer 11

About 1-2 years ago, I was at the same place.
Then I finally got the OOP-concept in C++ at since then programming is a lot easier 😅

Sorry, I don't like to hand out my E-mail address in general. But you can tag me on SL whenever you like and if I have time I will be glad to help :)

What I can tell you right away is to install xampp and try out as much as possible using php/sql.
Especially creating forms. There are a lot of nice guides which can be found on the internet, Google was and is my best friend regarding programming questions 😅

Answer 12

Matthias Oh.. Its Okay Matthias. Thanks for telling me about the php/sql. I will do it.

Yes You are right. Google is the best Friend. Not only for programming for eveything.

yes ill follow you in SL. If i have doubts.. ill tag you.

Thanks Matthias! It was really nice to Know you.

Answer 13

Jonas Schröter hello, jonas i tried, still it shows the previous output?

Answer 14

Just A Rather Ridiculously Long Username Thanks for letting me know. yes you are right, i tried and the output came exactly how i wanted.

but with the Code playground code you wrote, i dont understand what you coded, could you please explain me .?

Answer 15

Matthias Oh.. Thank You Matthias. ill keep that in my mind.

Answer 16

Matthias Are you a web developer?
