# All the Ways to Print
# the print() function and basic string object manipulation

# print() with one argument
print("Simple, one argument print call.")
print() # or none, just for a line return

# print() with multiple arguments
print("Hello.", "I'm", "Johnny", "Cash")


# hidden keyword arguments: end and sep
# default end="\n" for a new line return
# default sep=" "
print("Hello.", "I'm", "Johnny", "Cash", ".", sep="") # Hello.I'mJohnnyCash.
print(1, end="-")
print(2, end="-")
print(3)

x = "Sue"

# ways we build up larger strings
# CONCATENATION with +
myString = "My name is " + str(x) + ". How do you do?"

# DATA CONVERSION SPECIFIERS or "STRING MODULO" %s %f %d %i
myString = "My name is %s. How do you do?" % (x)

# THE BEST WAY:  string class .format() method
myString = "My name is {}. How do you do?".format(x)


print(myString)

print("I bet there's rich folks {} in a fancy {}".format("eating", "dining car"))

# Use the given username and phone to create a message that lets the user know that you will be calling
# at a specified number for your appointment. Use the format method to insert data into the printed message.
# expected outcome:
# Hi, Allen. I will call you at 888-555-0011 for our appointment.
username = 'Allen'
phone = 8885550011

# let's recast that int to a str, then we can SLICE it
phone = str(phone)

# I'll write slices as variables so we can see them...
first = phone[0:3]
second = phone[3:6]
last = phone[6:]

# ... but I usually don't bother to store things in variables unless they'll be used many times later on

userMessage = "Hi, {}. I will call you at {}-{}-{} for our appointment.".format(username, phone[0:3], phone[3:6], phone[6:])
