What is thr meaning of '%' in string formatting??

https://code.sololearn.com/cwI6eeB470in/?ref=app In this code I get different output if I change %a with %s. Does it have any special meaning if yes what it is and what are the other such character.

Using %s style formatters is the old way of string formatting. Please check this link that explains the various ways to do this in python. https://pyformat.info/ %a is supposed to refer to the ascii representation of the string.

% is the prefix that indicates that what follows is the type of what should be formatted to. %s means insert of a string %a is no valid format which i know (I also didn't find it in the tutorial linked below) http://python-reference.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/str/formatting.html Sry for my bad english.
