how shall i call out this function using string format method?

Question

i’m learning Python and have began with Google’s Python Automation Beginner course. Idk if i chose it right but im already in week 4 and now have started facing confusion.

Fill in the gaps in the nametag function so that it uses the format method to return first_name and the first initial of last_name followed by a period. For example, nametag(“Jane”, “Smith”) should return “Jane S.”

  def nametag(first_name, last_name):
return("___.".format(___))

Answer 1

You should use an fstring. It’s more modern (and easier to read) than format().
f'{first_name} {last_name[0]}.'

Answer 2

def nametag(first_name, last_name):
    return '{} {}.'.format(first_name, last_name[0])

will put the arguments of format in place of the brackets.

Please try this:

def nametag(first_name, last_name):

    return "{} {last_name}.".format(first_name, last_name=last_name[0])


print(nametag("Jane", "Smith"))

out put:
Jane S.

Answer 10

def nametag(first_name, last_name):
return '{} {:>2s}.'.format(first_name, last_name[0])

you should use {:>2s} for the space between Jane and S
"followed by a period" in question.
