Fixed digits after decimal with f-strings

Precision and Width for Uniform Outputs

Create a perfectly uniform format:

# Wider than an elephant, and precise as a dart board!
f"{value:10.2f}"  # Results in '      7.12', I'm on cloud 9... 10 actually!


The width gives your output a gym membership, keeping it fit and in shape.

Large Numbers? Say Hello to Thousands Separator

Enhance readability of large numbers:

# Who needs a calculator or abacus? 👀
f"{1234567.89:,.2f}"  # '1,234,567.89', more punctuations than my English essay!


Great for financial statements or astronomical distances.

Alignment and Padding for Consistency

# Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who's the most Aligned of All?
f"{value:<10.2f}"  # '7.12      ', Because right-handers need some love too!
f"{value:>10.2f}"  # '      7.12', Left is right!


Perfect when your table needs to look like it just got a military-style haircut.

Advanced Formatting Types with F-strings

Unleash the power of format specifiers for diverse outputs.

Need Percentages? Done!

# Because who needs a calculator anyway?
rate = 0.12345
f"{rate:.2%}"  # '12.35%', bet you didn't see that coming!


When Leading Zeros are "0h so important"!

# When your ID Card needs attention
f"{23:05}"  # '00023', zero calories, 100% formatted


Binary, Octal, or Hexadecimal - No Problem!

number = 255
f"{number:#x}"  # '0xff', because hexadecimal is cooler!
f"{number:#o}"  # '0o377', bringing octal back!
f"{number:#b}"  # '0b11111111', more ones than a lottery winner!


Beware of Special Cases

Every rule has exceptions, just like f-strings.

When Rounding Throws You a Curveball

value = 2.675
f"{value:.2f}"  # '2.67', wait... wasn't it supposed to be '2.68'?


Remember that one friend at school who always got weird scores?

Keeping it Consistent

# Because consistency brings balance in the force.
value = 1.5
f"{value:06.2f}"  # '001.50', beautifully balanced as all things should be.
