I want to print the following using an f string literal. It will be running wihtin a function and apples will be one of the arguments. I want it to have the square brackets included.
"I like [apples] because they are green"
I have tried the following code:
"I like {} because they are green".format("apples")
The code above prints:
I like apples because they are green
How do I insert the square brackets [ ] or another special character such as < > into the f string literal?
There are a couple possible ways to do this:
"I like [{}] because they are green".format("apples")
or
"I like {} because they are green".format("[apples]").
If instead of brackets you wanted to use actual special characters, you would just have to escape in the appropriate place:
"I like {} because they are green".format("\"apples\"").
Additionally, if you wanted to use actual f-strings, you could do the same thing as above but with the format:
f"I like {'[apples]'} because they are green"
but make sure to switch from double quotes to single quotes inside the brackets to avoid causing troubles by ending your string early.
