Semantics is what you say; syntax is how you say it.
You can insert numbers and strings into other strings for later output in a variety of ways. Generally, you will use the format mini-language and the modulus operator (%). For very simple cases it is very easy. For instance
anint = 12
afloat = 12.3
astring = 'twelve'
formattedstring = "%d, %4.2f, %10s."%(anint,afloat,astring)
print(formattedstring)I threw in some field size specifications just to show an example of them.
