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

# 1 argument
print("Simple, one argument print call")
x = "Sue"
print(x)

# concatenating a larger string as an arg
print("My name is " + str(x) + ", how do you do?")

# data conversion specifiers or "string modulo"
print("I bet there's rich folks %s in a fancy %s" % ("eating", "dining car"))

# string class .format()
print("They're probably drinking {} and smoking big {}!".format("coffee", "CIGARS"))
# concatenation, string modulo, and string.format() call also be used to create new strings as well
myString = "They're probably drinking {} and smoking big {}!".format("coffee", "CIGARS")

# print() can take multiple arguments
# this can NOT create a new string object, it's only for print()
c = "Cash"
print("Hello. ", "I'm ", "Johnny ", c, ".", sep="", end=" ") # defaults: sep=" " and end="\n"
print("Welcome to the show.")

# other methods you'll see later that also use keyword parameters with default values
myList.sort(reverse=False) # usually this is what you want so you just leave out reverse parameter
import datetime
dt = datetime.timedelta(days=5) # default: weeks=0, days=0, hours=0... etc
