Print in python chose the arg like in c

Question

I am looking for something similar in python print in printf c. Is there something like that in python ? printf("%2$c %1$c", a, b).

you want `str.format`: `"{1} {0}".format(a,b)` right? – Jean-François Fabre Oct 23 '17 at 11:48 — Jean-François Fabre, Oct 23 '17 at 11:48
`print('%s %s' % (b, a))` – Alan Kavanagh Oct 23 '17 at 11:49 — Alan Kavanagh, Oct 23 '17 at 11:49

str.format is designed to repeat arguments or change their order when passing a position (starting at 0):

a = 10
b = 20
print("{1} {0}".format(a,b))

you get:

20 10

For completeness, the % operator lets you select elements from a dict, although the format method is still the better way to go.

>>> print("%(two)s %(one)s" % {'one': 1, 'two': 2})
2 1
>>> print("%(one)s %(two)s" % {'one': 1, 'two': 2})
1 2
