air_temperature = float(input())
print('{:C>.1f}'.format(air_temperature), 'C')
Your output: 36.4 C
Expected output 35.4C
Why am I being told there is an extra space here that is extraneous, and how do I get rid of it?
I am learning about string formatting, and thought I followed the instructions correctly.
I am trying to have only 1 place after the decimal in my float, followed by a C. I have to have the '{}' part in it, and it looks to me to be correct, but is showing that I have an extra space for some reason after the float, before the "C".
What can I try next?
You can use f-string instead:
air_temperature = float(input())
print(f"{air_temperature}C")
input: 36.4
output: 36.4C
[Update]: You can still make it to multiple decimal points:
up to 1 decimal point:
air_temperature = float(input())
print(f"{air_temperature:.1f}C")
output:
input: 36.4158102
output: 36.4C
up to 2 decimal points:
air_temperature = float(input())
print(f"{air_temperature:.2f}C")
output:
input: 36.4
output: 36.40C
up to 3 decimal points:
air_temperature = float(input())
print(f"{air_temperature:.3f}C")
output:
input: 36.4
output: 36.400C
