There is a mistake you need to correct

[Bashneen]

the following solution is incorrect. It should be {product} in the last line.

Solution for part01-15_seconds_in_a_day
number1 = int(input("Please type in the first number: "))
number2 = int(input("Please type in the second number: "))
number3 = int(input("Please type in the third number: "))

product = number1 * number2 * number3

print("The product is", product)

@Bashneen,

Your version using {product} is called an f-string. It’s very popular because it's easy to read! The original solution uses comma separation, which is an older, built-in feature of the print function. Both achieve the exact same result in the console.


There are multiple ways to print strings in Python:

name = "Python"

# f-string (formatted String Literals) <----- Modern standard
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
# print(f"The product is {product}")

# .format() method
print("Hello, {}!".format(name))
# print("The product is {}".format(product))

# using % operator (old school, c-style)
print("Hello, %s!" % name)
# print("The product is %d" % product)

# string concatenation
print("Hello " + name + "!")
# print("The product is " + str(product))

Focus on mastering f-strings for now, as they are the modern standard. However, you’ll occasionally encounter situations where other printing methods are more practical. Over time, you'll develop a natural intuition for which approach works best for the task at hand.
