This article brings you a detailed introduction to the formatting of Python strings. It has certain reference value. Friends in need can refer to it. I hope it will be helpful to you. .
I believe that many people use the "%s" % v syntax when formatting strings. PEP 3101 proposes a more advanced formatting method str.format() and becomes the standard in Python 3. To replace the old %s formatting syntax, CPython has implemented this method since 2.6 (other interpreters have not verified it).
format()
The new format() method is actually more like a simplified version of the template engine (Template Engine), with very rich functions.
The replacement variable in the template is surrounded by {} and divided into two parts by :, the second half of which, format_spec, will be discussed separately later.
The first half has three uses:
This is consistent with the parameter category of function calls
print("{} {}".format("Hello", "World")) # 等同于以下几种 print("{0} {1}".format("Hello", "World")) print("{hello} {world}".format(hello="Hello", world="World")) print("{0}{1}{0}".format("H", "e")) # Hello World # Hello World # Hello World # HeH
In addition, just like the unpacking of function parameters, the unpacking operation can also be used directly in format()
print("{author}.{city}".format(**{"author": "Miracle", "city": "上海"})) print("{} {}".format(*["Miracle", "上海"])) Miracle.上海 Miracle 上海
In the template, you can also obtain the attributes or values in the variable through .identifier and [key] (it should be noted that "{}{}" is equivalent to "{0}{1}")
data = {'author': 'Miracle', 'like': 'papapa'} print("Author: {0[author]}, Like: {0[like]}".format(data)) langs = ["Python", "Ruby"] print("{0[0]} vs {0[1]}".format(langs)) print("\n====\nHelp(format):{.__doc__}".format(str.format)) # Name: Python, Score: 100 # Python vs Ruby # ==== # Help(format): # S.format(*args, **kwargs) -> str
Forced conversion, you can force the replaced variable through ! r|s|a
The part after the colon defines the output style
align represents the alignment direction, usually used in conjunction with width, and fill is the filling character (default is blank):
for align, text in zip("<^>", ["left", "center", "right"]): # 务必看懂这句话 print("{:{fill}{align}16}".format(text, fill=align, align=align)) print("{:0=10}".format(100)) # = 只允许数字 # left<<<<<<<<<<<< # ^^^^^center^^^^^ # >>>>>>>>>>>right # 0000000100
At the same time, it can be seen that {} can be nested in the style setting, but it must pass the keyword Specified, and can only be nested one level.
The next step is the symbol style: |-|' ' respectively specifies whether the number requires a mandatory symbol (the space means that it will not be displayed when the number is positive but one space will be reserved)
print("{0:+}\n{1:-}\n{0: }".format(3.14, -3.14)) # +3.14 # -3.14 # 3.14
Use Whether a prefix symbol is needed to represent numbers in special formats (binary, hexadecimal, etc.)
Comma is also used to represent numbers whether they need to be separated at the thousands place
0 is equivalent to the previous {:0=} is right-aligned and filled with 0s
print("Binary: {0:b} => {0:#b}".format(3)) print("Large Number: {0:} => {0:,}".format(1.25e6)) print("Padding: {0:16} => {0:016}".format(3)) # Binary: 11 => 0b11 # Large Number: 1250000.0 => 1,250,000.0 # Padding: 3 => 0000000000000003
Finally, Xiaopang will introduce to you the familiar decimal point precision issues, .n and formatting types.
Only some examples are given here, please refer to the documentation for details:
from math import pi print("pi = {pi:.2}, also = {pi:.7}".format(pi=pi)) # pi = 3.1, also = 3.141593
Integer
for t in "b c d #o #x #X n".split(): print("Type {0:>2} of {1} shows: {1:{t}}".format(t, 97, t=t)) # Type b of 97 shows: 1100001 # Type c of 97 shows: a # Type d of 97 shows: 97 # Type #o of 97 shows: 0o141 # Type #x of 97 shows: 0x61 # Type #X of 97 shows: 0X61 # Type n of 97 shows: 97
Float
for t, n in zip("eEfFgGn%", [12345, 12345, 1.3, 1.3, 1, 2, 3.14, 0.985]): print("Type {} shows: {:.2{t}}".format(t, n, t=t)) # Type e shows: 1.23e+04 # Type E shows: 1.23E+04 # Type f shows: 1.30 # Type F shows: 1.30 # Type g shows: 1 # Type G shows: 2 # Type n shows: 3.1 # Type % shows: 98.50%
String (default)
try: print("{:s}".format(123)) except: print("{}".format(456)) # 456
