List Items - Cleaning Up the List pt2

Question

I am trying to create unique messages for each guest. The output for the last guest has the dreaded apostrophes around the name. How do I remove the apostrophes around the name Luke?

Code below:

guest_list = ['John', 'Mark', 'Luke']
print(f"{guest_list[0].title()}, my wife is making meatloaf. Would you like some?")
print(f"{guest_list[1].title()}, John is coming to dinner later. You down?")
print(f"Hey, the whole gang is here 'f{guest_list[2].title()}'. You coming to eat?")

Output:

John, my wife is making meatloaf. Would you like some?
Mark, John is coming to dinner later. You down?
Hey, the whole gang is here 'Luke'. You coming to eat?

Answer 1

Just delete them because you put those there.

guest_list = ['John', 'Mark', 'Luke']
print(f"{guest_list[0].title()}, my wife is making meatloaf. Would you like some?")
print(f"{guest_list[1].title()}, John is coming to dinner later. You down?")
print(f"Hey, the whole gang is here {guest_list[2].title()}. You coming to eat?")

See the difference?

Answer 2

Thanks folks!

Answer 3

print(f"Hey, the whole gang is here {guest_list[2].title()}. You coming to eat?")

Answer 4

You nerd an escape character.

If you want the compiler to "ignore" a command and treat something as a string literal, you'll have to use backlash + character like so :

\" will print "
\\ will print \
\' will print '

There's more for tabs, paragraphs and whitespace - look up python escape characters
