This is the code I'm using to make part of a text-based game:
armour = int(0)
message = "You have no weapons to fight with. The bokoblin hits you with its club (3 damage) but your armour
reduces the damage (-",str(armour),") and you manage to escape."
wrapper = textwrap.TextWrapper(width=90)
words = wrapper.wrap(text=message)
for element in words:
print(element)
I want to use textwrap to print the text without the words getting split at the end of a line, which works fine, but when I put a variable (armour) in the text it comes up with an error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):

text = text.expandtabs(self.tabsize)
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'expandtabs'
Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't want to use \n instead of textwrap due to different monitor sizes.
In order to use variables in a string you have to use a format or f string.
count = 20
#string formatting versions
newest = f'I have {count} apples left.'
older = 'I have {} apples left.'.format(count)
ancient = 'I have %i apples left.' % count
