Python - multiple %s string

Question

how do you use multiple %s in a python output?

TEXT = 'Hi, your first name is %s' %Fname

This works fine but...

TEXT = 'Hi, your first name is %s and your last name is %s' %Fname %Lname

I get the error

TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

Use a tuple:

TEXT = 'Hi, your first name is %s and your last name is %s' % (Fname, Lname)

Better: use str.format(*args, **kwargs).

"Hi, your first name is {0} and your last name is {1}".format("foo", "bar")

You need to use tuples:

TEXT = 'Hi, your first name is %s', % (Fname)
TEXT = 'Hi, your first name is %s and your last name is %s' % (Fname, Lname)

Also, consider using format().

I like using string format instead.

So

TEXT = 'Hi, your first name is {} and your last name is {}'.format(Fname, Lname)

TEXT = 'Hi, your first name is %s and your last name is %s' %(Fname, Lname)

or

TEXT ='Hi, your first name is {} and your last name is {}'.format(Fname, Lname)

Both is not valid Python.

Syntex mistake in ", %(Fname, Lname)" and right one is %(Fname, Lname)

Give all the variables in a tuple, like this:

TEXT = 'Hi, your first name is %s and your last name is %s.' %(Fname,Lname)
