• We can use concatenation to create a string that repeats multiple times by adding itself over and over, but this may become tedious for many repetitions. Is there a shorthand method to repeat a string multiple times?
• What programming language should I choose? (video)

Hi I would like to add a variable inside a string as below:

my_age = 40
greeting = "Hi "
name = "Jack "
age = ", I am "*my_age*" years old!"
greeting_with_name = greeting + name + age
print(greeting_with_name)

I would like to add the my_age variable in the middle of the string for the age variable. But this code comes up with an error.

Thanks for any help

It’s concatenation so you should use the ‘+’ sign!

Is it possible to use print multiple times? If not, why is that the case?

Hi,
How do I get half_my_age to be a whole number in the code below?

my_age = 48

half_my_age = my_age / 2

greeting = “Hi”

name = “Peter”

greeting_with_name = greeting + " " + name +"!"

print(greeting_with_name)

print(“I am” + " " + str(half_my_age) + " "+ “years old.” + " ")

half_my_age = my_age / 2

That is a float so how do we convert a float to an integer?
