Silly Python3 Strings

[straight_stewie]

I want the output to look something like this: 

 

Obviously I can do that by writing this:

print("ID Card Printing\n================\n\nPlease enter your personal information below\n")
print("%s %s %d" % (input("Please enter your first name: "), input("Please enter your last name: "), 2016-int(input("Please enter your four digit birthyear: "))))

# Sorry for the long line

 

I want to do it in one line though, instead of two. I've tried the following below, none of which work:

#Sorry for the long lines. That's what one-liners are all about

# One Liner attempt number 1
print("%s %s %s %d", % ("ID Card Printing\n================\n\nPlease enter your personal information below\n", input("Please enter your first name: "), input("Please enter your last name: "), 2016-int(input("Please enter your four digit birthyear: ")))

#One Line attempt number 2
print("{} {} {} {}" .format("ID Card Printing\n================\n\nPlease enter your personal information below\n", input("Please enter your first name: "), input("Please enter your last name: "), 2016-int(input("Please enter your four digit birthyear: "))))

These programs output this:

 

Is there any way that I can get the program to output the correct output in the correct order in one line?

No, input functions will print what they prompt first, before print function ends, when you run your print function with input function as argument, it will print only after input function returns so this is why you have your prompts printed before print function output.

 

More or less, print has to have all arguments available to print them, and input has to print to prompt for input. So you would kllike to have data before you ask for them. Your two line attempts is the best you can get.

print("\n----------------\n\nName: {last}, {first}\n\nAge: {age}\n\n----------------" .format(first=input("ID Card Printing\n================\n\nPlease enter your personal information below\n\n" + "Please enter your first name: "), last=input("Please enter your last name: "), age=2016-int(input("Please enter your four digit birthyear: "))))

Though that's horrible and you should never actually do that.

I'm well aware. I just enjoy trying to solve the early Intro-P assignments on one line. This one will have to be a two liner though.

Well damn. Thank's for the input guys.

Is there something wrong with the 1 liner I posted?

[Mr_KoKa]

OP might not noticed the difference (the first line is included into first input) as it is (as you mentioned) quite not readable

Actually, OP was in a rush to get to class and mistakenly thought that @fizzlesticks code was a quote.
