Another newbie question:
How can I *not* have a space between arguments(is that what they are =
called?)
E.g.
print oDay, suffix(oDay)
Displays as:
23 rd
I'd like to get rid of that space.
At http://starship.python.net/~da/jak/cookbook.html
It says
"In python, the print statement has very good default semantics --- most =
of the time, it does exactly what you want, putting a space between the =
arguments, and a newline at the end. If you want more control over the =
formatting, use the % operator [link to % operator]: rather than=20
print k, ':', string.join(v)
you could use=20
print "%s: %s", (k, string.join(v))
to avoid the space before the colon."
I tried:
print "%s: %s", (oDay, suffix(oDay))
(just to see if it would work) But it displayed as:
%s: %s (12, 'th')
This is such a tiny little thing, sorry I couldn't find the answer =
myself!
