You'll find an introduction to old style formatting in my
tutorial topic "Simple Sequences".

In that style you would write your print statement as:

print("Your response was %s! Please enter %s or %s for your response!"
        % (answer, p, n) )   # note can be one line...

I only wrapped the line for email formatting...

In new style (V3) formatting your line looks like:

print("Your response was {0}! \
Please enter {1} or {2} for your response!".format(answer, p, n) )

Again it should be one line.

V3 formatting is described here:

http://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#formatstrings

And to make it more real, here are the examples:
