Mastering f-strings: Personalized Greeting Generator
f-strings (formatted string literals) are a powerful and concise way to embed expressions inside string literals in Python. They are incredibly useful for dynamically creating strings, making your code more readable and efficient. This challenge will help you practice constructing and using f-strings to create personalized messages.
Problem Description
Your task is to create a Python function that generates a personalized greeting message using f-strings. The function will take a person's name and their favorite hobby as input and return a formatted string.
Requirements:
- The function should accept two arguments:
name(a string representing the person's name) andhobby(a string representing their favorite hobby). - The generated greeting message should follow the format: "Hello, [name]! It's great to know you enjoy [hobby]."
- You must use f-strings to construct this message.
- The function should return the generated string.
Expected Behavior:
When the function is called with specific name and hobby, it should return the corresponding personalized greeting.
Edge Cases to Consider:
- Empty strings for name or hobby. How should your f-string handle these? (While the prompt doesn't explicitly require specific handling for empty strings beyond what f-strings naturally do, be aware of how they will render).
Examples
Example 1:
Input:
name = "Alice"
hobby = "reading"
Output:
"Hello, Alice! It's great to know you enjoy reading."
Explanation: The f-string embeds "Alice" and "reading" directly into the template string.
Example 2:
Input:
name = "Bob"
hobby = "coding"
Output:
"Hello, Bob! It's great to know you enjoy coding."
Explanation: Another demonstration of f-string's ability to insert variables.
Example 3: (Edge Case Consideration)
Input:
name = ""
hobby = "sleeping"
Output:
"Hello, ! It's great to know you enjoy sleeping."
Explanation: The f-string correctly inserts the empty string for the name.
Constraints
nameandhobbywill always be strings.- The length of
nameandhobbywill not exceed 100 characters. - Your solution should be efficient and readable.
Notes
- Remember the syntax for f-strings: prefix the string literal with
forF, and place variables or expressions within curly braces{}. - Think about how f-strings can make your string formatting much cleaner than older methods like
.format()or the%operator.
