I'm a visual learner and I'm getting slightly confused with the .format method when written in the REPEL, so could someone please take a snippet of an example with it written on the actual text editor.
thanks in advance

Here is a short example I made in PyCharm:
lang = "Python"
# using .format()
print("I love {} programming".format(lang))
"""
OUTPUT:
I love Python programming
"""
Another great alternative to .format() is f-string which was introduced in Python 3.6. Here's an example:
lang = "Python"
# using f-string
print(f"I love {lang} programming")
"""
OUTPUT:
I love Python programming
"""
With f-string you can write the variable name right inside the curly brackets {} which makes the code clearer and easier to follow. You can google it - in my opinion it is really an excellent feature!
I hope this answers your question!
