What is the benefit of using the f-string compared to just using the variable there? For example: I've tried the same code with print(name, 'has been added.') and it gave the same result. Thanks

Hi Stephan, You have rightfully observed that using a simple print statement is going to produce the same result. This means that, in this case, it is irrelevant whether we choose to use an f-string or not. ------------ F-strings become really useful when you want to embed a Python expression inside a string (so-called '(literal) string interpolation'). As you have found out, the following are absolute equivalent: name = 'Stephan' print(name, 'has been added.') print(f'{name} has been added') However, inside the curly brackets you could include a much more sophisticated expression without having to define new variables. That is, you could do computations implicitly and plug the result right into the string. One example could be a mathematical expression - observe how f-strings omit the need to define 2 additional variables. import math radius = int(input("Enter radius:" ).strip()) print(f'The circle with radius {radius} has an area of {math.pi * radius * radius} and circumference of {2 * math.pi * radius}') In this lies the elegance of f-strings - they allow things to be written in a fast and concise manner. ------------ Best, A.
