What does the % sign do in python

Question

I understand that if you say something like this

print(26%5)

the output would be 1 because it does the remainder. But all too often I see it used for something else and I'm clueless as of what it means. Like people use it like this sometimes

print(%s + "Something else")

I don't even know if the syntax was correct there.

Answer 1

In that case that is "format form"

in this code %s will be replaced by inp value
inp=str(input())
print("%s,man"%inp)
