Python Bootcamp in a Day - Python Programming for Beginners - Formatted Strings, f-strings

This video tutorial covers the process of formatting strings in Python, focusing on creating a neatly formatted table of Olympic results. It introduces the concept of F strings, available since Python 3.6, and demonstrates how to use them for calculations and formatting. The tutorial explains how to specify the width of slots in F strings and how to format numbers. It also guides viewers through building and printing a table, using functions to streamline the code and ensure the output is well-organized.
