Assume the following statement has been executed:
number = 1234567.456
Write a Python statement that displays the value referenced by the number variable formatted as
1,234,567.5
Use the function named format() with a specific formatting pattern to show the value represented by the number variable as "1,234,567.5".
The following Python statement helps to understand how to use the format() function.
number = 1234567.456
# Use the following format() function
formatted_number = format(number, ",.1f")
print(formatted_number)
The format() method is used in this code to format the integer variable. When the pattern ",.1f" is used, the following results:
Here,
The comma "," is included as a separator, the ‘.1’ indicates the numeral that follows the decimal point.
A floating-point number is formatted with the letter ’ f’.
The output will be seen after running the code: 1,234,567.5. The intended formatted version of the number variable is stored in the variable named formatted_number.
