Basically, I want to be able to ask a question like "What colour do you want?" and then make it so that based on the answer it will set a variable and be usable in formatting.
So something like this:
print("\033[1;35m\033[1;4m What colour would you like the printed text to be?")
print("\033[1;0m\033[1;1m 1. Red")
print(" 2. Green")
print(" 3. Blue")
ans1 = input()
ans1 = float(ans1)
if ans1 == 1:
colour = 31
print("\033[1;(colour)m This text is red")
elif ans1 == 2:
colour = 32
print("\033[1;(colour)m This text is green")
elif ans1 == 3:
colour = 35
print("\033[1;(colour)m This text is blue")
and then the text would be the right colour. Is this possible and if so how could I go about doing it?
print("\033[1;35m\033[1;4m What colour would you like the printed text to be?")
print("\033[1;0m\033[1;1m 1. Red")
print(" 2. Green")
print(" 3. Blue")
ans1 = input()
ans1 = float(ans1)
if ans1 == 1:
colour = 31
print(f"\033[1;{colour}m This text is red")
elif ans1 == 2:
colour = 32
print(f"\033[1;{colour}m This text is green")
elif ans1 == 3:
colour = 35
print(f"\033[1;{colour}m This text is blue")
A formatted string literal or f-string is a string literal that is prefixed with 'f' or 'F'. These strings may contain replacement fields, which are expressions delimited by curly braces {}. While other string literals always have a constant value, formatted strings are really expressions evaluated at run time.
