String Interpolation in Python: Exploring Available Tools

Another great article by the Real Python team. I use f strings a lot. I know there are other options like format & Modulo Operator (%) for String Interpolation but I mostly didn’t use them. This article by Leodanis Pozo Ramos gave me more clarity and when to use them and I also got to know dictionary unpacking & lazy evaluation at the time of String Interpolation. I hope you will also learn something new from this article.
