Whats wrong with line 12? - brimalm - Sep-08-2017

formatter = " {} {} {} {}"

print(formatter.format(1, 2, 3, 4))
print(formatter.format("one", "two", "three", "four"))
print(formatter.format(True, False, False, True))
print(formatter.format(formatter, formatter, formatter, formatter))
print(formatter.format(
    "I will",
    "try my",
    "own text",
    "here"))
print({}.format('but only because you told me to'))

I'm really new to this as you may very well understand.. Last line:

print({}.format('but only because you told me to'))

gives me the following error message:

Error:Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "exercise8.py", line 12, in <module>
    print({}.format('but only because you told me to'))
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'format'

From what I understand my {} aren't working :/

please use code tags next time

Quote:

print({}.format('but only because you told me to'))

this needs to be this

print('{}'.format('but only because you told me to'))
