Format with Percent
Part of the Game Rules section of Coddy's Godot journey. Lesson 8 of 29.
With several numbers, + and str() get long. Write the text once instead, with %d where a whole number goes. Then add % and the number:
"Score: %d" % scoreWith score at 40, this gives Score: 40. For several numbers, put them in a list, in the same order as the %ds:
"Level %d, %d lives" % [level, lives]%s works the same way for any value, text included.
