>>> import string
>>> string.find("bob", "b", 1, 2)
-1

With this input off of the string module, I was confused as to how did the program get an output of -1. I'm just confused with that part of the program

>>> '2**10 = 1024 and 4 * 5 = 20.000000'

'2**10 = 1024 and 4 * 5 = 20.000000'

>>> "His name is %s." % "Arthur"

'His name is Arthur.'

>>> name = "Alice"

>>> age = 10

>>> "I am %s and I am %d years old." % (name, age)

'I am Alice and I am 10 years old.'

>>> n1 = 4

>>> n2 = 5

>>> "2**10 = %d and %d * %d =  %f" % (2**10, n1, n2, n1 * n2)

'2**10 = 1024 and 4 * 5 =  20.000000'

With the % input, you can have it stand for different things such as from the program the first %s = name and then the second %d = age..
