I’ve been reading about string formatting in Python, and I’m wondering why f-strings are considered the best way to format strings (starting in Python 3.6). I’ve used %
formatting and .format()
, but I’m curious about why f-strings are so widely preferred.
Can someone explain the performance benefits, readability improvements, and scenarios where f-strings really shine over the other methods? I’m also interested in any edge cases or limitations when using f-strings.
