Displaying amount - Python

Question

print("The cost of paint based on whole gallons is: $", round(paint_costs,2))
The cost of paint based on whole gallons is: $ XXX.XX

How do I omit the space between the $ and amount so that it reads:

The cost of paint based on whole gallons is: $XXX.XX

Is it import.locale?

in your case, using string formating is the correct answer: `"The cost of paint based on whole gallons is: ${0:.2f}".format(paint_costs)`. Don't use `round` to format numbers. — Daniel, Feb 28 '15 at 13:38

Add sep="" parameter inside the print function.

print("The cost of paint based on whole gallons is: $", round(paint_costs,2), sep="")

Use the Py3 feature sep

print("The cost of paint based on whole gallons is: $", round(paint_costs,2),sep = "")

Other ways include

print("The cost of paint based on whole gallons is: ${}".format(round(paint_costs,2)))
print("The cost of paint based on whole gallons is: $%s"%(round(paint_costs,2)))
