Should I use the commas to seperate my strings or the .format() function.

I was just wondering, because Craig taught us to do the same thing 2 ways.

Thanks, Jack

The more you learn about programming, the more different ways you will be able to do the same thing. Usually, you'll pick a method based on a compromise of compact notation, execution efficiency, and ease of understanding for future maintainers. Sometimes you're lucky and can cover all three without compromise.
