Python3
# input stored in variable a. a = { 'x' : "geeksforgeeks" , 'y' : 'b' } # Use of format_map() function print ( '{x} {y}' .format_map(a)) |
Output:
geeksforgeeks b
Example 3:
Python3
# Input dictionary profession = { 'name' :[ 'Barry' , 'Bruce' ], 'profession' :[ 'Engineer' , 'Doctor' ], 'age' :[ 30 , 31 ] } # Use of format_map() function print ( '{name[0]} is an {profession[0]} and he' ' is {age[0]} years old.' .format_map(profession)) print ( '{name[1]} is an {profession[1]} and he' ' is {age[1]} years old.' .format_map(profession)) |
