REST APIs with Flask and Python - String Formatting in Python

The video tutorial covers string formatting in Python, focusing on F-strings and the format method. It begins with an introduction to string formatting in Python 3.6 and later, explaining static string assignment and its limitations. The tutorial then introduces F-strings, highlighting their ability to embed variables dynamically. It also covers the format method, which allows for reusable string templates. The video concludes by discussing the benefits of using the format method, such as creating longer templates and reusing them with different values.

What is the main limitation of static strings in Python?

• They require external libraries.

• They cannot be printed.

• They are only available in Python 2.

• They do not allow dynamic content.

How do F-strings enhance string formatting in Python?

• By making strings immutable.

• By reducing the size of the code.

• By allowing the use of multiple languages.

• By enabling dynamic embedding of variables.

Which of the following is true about F-strings?

• They are available in Python 2.

• They require the use of the format method.

• They allow embedding variables directly within strings.

• They are slower than traditional string concatenation.

What is a common use case for F-strings in Python?

• To format strings in Python 2.

• To replace the need for variables.

• To embed variables in strings dynamically.

• To create immutable strings.

What is a key advantage of using the format method over F-strings?

• It is faster than F-strings.

• It allows for the creation of reusable templates.

• It is compatible with Python 2.

• It automatically updates variable values.

What is the purpose of using curly braces in the format method?

• To denote the start and end of a string.

• To comment out parts of the code.

• To specify where variables should be inserted.

• To create a list within a string.

In what scenario might you prefer using the format method over F-strings?

• When creating complex, reusable string templates.

• When minimizing code execution time.

• When needing to update variable values dynamically.

• When working with Python 2.
