String Formatting in Python using %?

We can easily format a string in Python using %. Following are the Formatters −

• Integer − %d
• Float − %f
• String − %s
• Hexadecimal − %x
• Octal − %o

Formatting String Variable as integer

To format string variable as an integer, use the int() method and set the string as a parameter −

Example

# string
var = '12'

#%i - Integer
print('Variable as integer = %i' %(int(var)))

Output

Variable as integer = 12

Formatting String Variable as float

To format string variable as a float, use the float() method and set the string as a parameter −

Example

# string
var = '12'

#%f - float
print('Variable as float = %f' %(float(var)))

Output

Variable as float = 12.000000

Formatting String Variable as Hexadecimal

To format string variable as Hexadecimal, use the int() method and set the string as a parameter. For hexa, use %x'% −

Example

# string
var = '12'

#%x - hexadecimal
print('Variable as hexadecimal = %x'%(int(var)))

Output

Variable as hexadecimal = c

Formatting String Variable as Octal

To format string variable as an Octal, use the int() method and set the string as a parameter. For hexa, use %o' % −

Example

# string
var = '25'

#%o - octal
print('Variable as octal = %o' %(int(var)))

Output

Variable as octal = 31
