# All the Ways to Print 2021/09/04
# the print() function and basic string object manipulation

# print() with no arguments
print()

# print() with one argument
print("Simple, one argument print call.")

# print() with multiple arguments
print("Hello", "I'm", "Johnny", "Cash")
print("Hello", "I'm", "Johnny", "Cash", sep="--")

# hidden keyword arguments: end and sep
# default end="\n" for a new line return
# default sep=" "



# Beyond print()

# Ways we build up larger strings
x = "Sue"

# CONCATENATION with +
myString = "My name is " + str(x) + ". How do you do?" # easy, but also easy to mess up
# 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)

# 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
phone = str(phone)

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