I'm trying emulate a printf() c statement that does, for example
char* name="Chris";
int age=30;
printf("My name is %s", name);
printf("My name is %s and I am %d years old.", %s, %d);
In other words, printf() has a variable arguement list the we
all know.
I'm trying to do this in Python...
class MyPrintf(object):
# blah, blah
def myprintf(object, *arg):
# Here I'll have to know I NEED 2 arguments in format string
arg[0]
print arg[0] % (arg[1], arg[2])
name="Chris"
age=30
printf=MyPrintf()
printf.myPrintf(("My name is %s and I am %d years old.", name, age)
will of course print...
My name is Chris and I am 42 years old.
But
printf.myPrintf(("My name is %s.", name)
of course gives....
Index error: list index out of range
How can I generalize the print call in the myprintf() function to do this?
print arg[0] % (arg[1])
print arg[0] % (arg[1], arg[2])
print arg[0] % (arg[1], ..., arg[n])
