From the ‘budget.py’ py4e assignment:
This formatting ensures that ‘description’ is always a max of 23 characters long, and in a row that is always 23 characters long:
print(f"{description[:23]:23} {amount:7.2f}")
It works, but seems to me to be a clumsy looking way of achieving the goal.
Is there a better way to specify that the string will always be exactly 23 characters long?
Why clumsy? It looks like an excellent and concise way of achieving this.
Thanks, glad you like it! I was looking for a single expression that would force a string to be a specified length, rather than having to use 2 expressions to do that. It just seemed like a thing that should exist! I guess if it doesn’t, I’m not missing anything.
