Hello you guys, I am a newbie in Python and I'm also studying more about Python.
I have a small assignment, I want to concat some information into a full string. Like this:
softname = "Python"
procversion = "3.8.2"
percent ="21"
exe = "extention"
instr = ("'%s', '%s', '%d', '%s'" % softname, procversion, int(percent), exe)
print(instr)
But I get an exception TypeError: not enough arguments for format string when I run code above.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 6, in <module>
instr = ("'%s', '%s', '%d', '%s'" % softname, procversion, int(percent), exe)
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string
And I am using python 3.8.2
Anyone can explain it to me? How can I solve it?
Thanks for any response.

The syntax is incorrect. String formatting arguments must be a tuple. You create a tuple with a formatted string and a second formatting argument. Use this instead:
softname = "Python" procversion = "3.8.2" percent ="21" exe = "extention" instr = ("'%s', '%s', '%d', '%s'" % (softname, procversion, int(percent), exe)) print(instr)#Output
'Python', '3.8.2', '21', 'extention'Hope it is helpful for you.
