I’m a very beginner and know only the very basic syntax. I am trying to make a circumference calculator, with the user inputting the radius. This is what I have right now, but I want to be able to have a text answer like “The circumference of this circle is ____”. Right now I can only output the answer.
rad = input("Enter the radius of circle: ") radius = float(rad) circumference = 2 * 3.14 * radius print(circumference)
You’re on the right track! To include a text answer along with the calculated circumference, you can use the print statement to display a formatted message. Here’s an example:
print
rad = input("Enter the radius of the circle: ") radius = float(rad) circumference = 2 * 3.14 * radius # Format the output message message = "The circumference of this circle with radius {} is {:.2f}".format(radius, circumference) # Print the message print(message)
In this example, the format method is used to create a string where {} is a placeholder for the radius value, and {:.2f} is a placeholder for the circumference value with two decimal places. The format method then replaces these placeholders with the actual values before printing the message.
format
{}
radius
{:.2f}
circumference
Now, when you run the program and input the radius, it will print a message like “The circumference of this circle with radius [radius] is [calculated circumference]”.
