Answer 1

you can use format.

Answer 2

Thanks for attaching Python documentation. I haven't done formatting in 4 months so I am rusty

Answer 3

Using the format function for strings ...

lower = [70, 79, 88, 97, 106]
upper = [78, 87, 105, 114, 123]
num = [5, 3, 4, 2, 6, 4]

for l, u, n in zip(lower, upper, num):
print('{0:>8} {1}'.format('{0}-{1}:'.format(l, u), '*' * n))
