   Adapted to Python 3 from a program written by Jeff Ondich, 2 April 2009

   This sample program will introduce you to formatted strings using
   Python 3 str.format() method.  See
   https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#formatstrings
   for more details.

# Recall this code from way back in strings0.py?  There is a problem
# with this code--it puts a space between your name and the period.

userName = input('What is your name? ')
print('Hi', userName, '.  It is a pleasure to meet you.')
print()

# We already fixed it in two ways.  Let us do it a third way.

# The print statement below uses the str.format() method to insert one string
# (the user's name, stored in the variable userName) into the longer string
# 'Hi...'.
#
# -- Where does the string userName get inserted into the larger string?

userName = input('What is your name? ')
print('Hi {0}.  It is a pleasure to meet you.'.format(userName))
print()


# You can insert more than one thing, and more than one kind of thing, into a
# string.
#
# -- What do you think the numbers inside curly braces {.} stand for?
# -- If you swap {0} and {1}, can you make other changes so the output stays
#        the same as before?

userName = input('What is your name? ')
numberString = input('What is your favorite number? ')
number = int(numberString)
print('Hi {0}. Astonishingly, {1} is my favorite number, too!'.format(userName, number))
print()

# You can make pretty columns with some special features of
# formatted strings.
#
# Try the following code.  Then look here:
#
#   https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#formatstrings
#
# to see if you can figure out a way to force the hourly wages to be
# right-justified with exactly two digits beyond the decimal point.

people = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Chrysanthemum', 'Donald']
hourlyWages = [15.456, 6.8, 254.25, 20]

for k in range(len(people)):
    print('{0:15}{1:f}'.format(people[k], hourlyWages[k]))
