Hi again, Still working leisurely through the tutorial here: http://anh.cs.luc.edu/python/hands-on/3.1/handsonHtml/io.html
An excise at the end of second 1.10 says to Write a version of the quotient problem in *Exercise for Quotients* <http://anh.cs.luc.edu/python/hands-on/3.1/handsonHtml/io.html#quotientproblem>, quotientformat.py, that uses the string format method to construct the same final string as before. Again be sure to give a full sentence stating both the integer quotient and the remainder. So I did x=int(input('Enter an integer ')) y=int(input('Enter another integer ')) z=int(input('Enter a third integer ')) formatStr='Integer {0}, {1}, {2}, and the sum is {3}.' equations=formatStr.format(x,y,z,x+y+z) print(equations) formatStr2='{0} divided by {1} is {2} with a reminder of {3}' equations2=formatStr2.format(x,y,x//y,x%y) print(equations2) And obviously this works. But the question is: if I want to keep the results of {2} and {3} between the first instance (formatStr) and the second (formatStr2) how would I go about it? Apprently using {4} and {5} instead results in a index sequence error as in IndexError: tuple index out of range /Martin S -- Regards, Martin S
