Python 3 course, having issue with extra space before period in the end of the print statement

Question

I'm taking a python intro course so this stuff is still fairly basic, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried multiple things, I know that the comma in a print statement automatically adds a space, but I can't add a plus and the period without getting an error

here is my code:

bonus = survey_completers / class_size

avg = my_current_average + bonus

rounded_bonus = round(bonus, 1)

rounded_avg = round(avg, 1)

textOne = str("After the")

textTwo = str("point bonus, my average is")

textThree = str(".")

print(textOne, rounded_bonus, textTwo, rounded_avg, textThree)

giving the output:

After the 0.5 point bonus, my average is 87.6 .

When expected output is that sentence with the period right behind the 87.6

I've tried things such as:

bonus = survey_completers / class_size

avg = my_current_average + bonus

rounded_bonus = round(bonus, 1)

rounded_avg = round(avg, 1)

textOne = str("After the")

textTwo = str("point bonus, my average is")

print(textOne, rounded_bonus, textTwo, rounded_avg + ".")

which gives me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "CIOSBonus.py", line 40, in <module>
print(textOne, rounded_bonus, textTwo, rounded_avg + ".")
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'float' and 'str'

Command exited with non-zero status 1

Answer 1

Using f-strings:

bonus = survey_completers / class_size

avg = my_current_average + bonus

rounded_bonus = round(bonus, 1)

rounded_avg = round(avg, 1)

result = f"After the {rounded_bonus} point bonus, my average is {rounded_avg}."

print(result)

Answer 2

You can convert the float to a string:

print(textOne, rounded_bonus, textTwo, str(rounded_avg) + ".")

You can also set sep="", default is sep=" "

print(textOne, " ", rounded_bonus, " ", textTwo, " ", rounded_avg, ".", sep="")

Another option is to use f-strings:

print(f"{textOne} {rounded_bonus} {textTwo} {rounded_avg}.")

You can also use string formatting:

print("%s %f %s %f." %(textOne, rounded_bonus, textTwo, rounded_avg))

%s is string
%i is int
%f is float

I think that using f-strings is the best and cleanest way.

Also, when creating a string you don't have to have str("").

For example:

x = "Test String"
