Suppose I have two variables that are called animal and age, and print them as a string in the console like so: animal = "giraffe" age = 25 print("A %s can live up to %d years" %(animal,age)) ...

remove more noise and streamline prose; remove inaccurate terminology that doesn't help explain the situation
Why are commas not needed for modulo string formatting when printing?
I have a question about format specifiers.For example:I have two variables that are called `animal` and `age`, and print them as a string in the console using format specifiers. Why do we place the modulo operator `%(animal,age)` next to the string without a comma? Does Python automatically detect that it needs two parameters to execute?Here is the code example:- ```
- animal = "giraffe"
- age = 25
- print("A %s can live up to %d years" %(animal,age))
```
- Suppose I have two variables that are called `animal` and `age`, and print them as a string in the console like so:
- ```
- animal = "giraffe"
- age = 25
- print("A %s can live up to %d years" %(animal,age))
- ```
- Why shouldn't there be a comma between the string and the `%(animal,age)` part? Does Python automatically detect that it needs two parameters to execute?

Remove un necessary noise and format for better readability.

I'm still a novice in Python. But have come across a question about format specifiers. For example, if I have two variables that are called `animal` and `age`. And print a string in the console using format specifiers. Why do we place the modulo operator `%(animal,age)` next to the string without a comma? Does Python automatically detect that it needs two parameters to execute?- Here is the code example:

- animal = "giraffe"
