Formatting Strings: Input Input

Formatting strings allows you to format values in a string using placeholders {} and the format() method. You can format different data types like strings, numbers, booleans by specifying the index or keyword of the values in the placeholders. Format specifiers like :.2f can be used to format floating point numbers to a specific number of decimal places. Percentage formatting and f-strings provide alternative ways to format values in strings.
