Tips for Using format()
Function - indexError
When using the format()
function, if the number of curly braces ({})
in the string does not match the number of arguments passed to it, an IndexError will occur.
An IndexError
occurs when there are more curly braces in the string than arguments, causing the function to fail to map a value to each placeholder.
indexError Example
greeting = "Hello, {0}! Today is {1}. {2}" try: formatted_greeting = greeting.format("CodeFriend", "Tuesday") print(formatted_greeting) except IndexError as e: print(f"Error occurred: {e}")
How to Fix IndexError
To prevent indexError
, ensure the number of curly braces in the string matches the number of parameters passed to the format()
function.
Resolved indexError
# Remove {2} to resolve the indexError greeting = "Hello, {0}! Today is {1}." formatted_greeting = greeting.format("Chris", "Tuesday") print(formatted_greeting) # "Hello, Chris! Today is Tuesday."
