What does this f mean in this sentence? [duplicate]

Question

I'm learning python from beginning and I don't understand the part where it says {2:.2f}. I know it is related to string format, but no more.

a = int(input('introduce a number: '))
b = int(input('introduce a number: '))

print('the result of {0} divided by {1} is {2:.2f}, and the result of {1} divided by {0} es {3}'.format(a, b, a/b, b/a))

Thanks!

This indicates a float rounded by two digits. See more information here — user8563312

See also stackoverflow.com/questions/8885663/…. Note that the "f" you are asking about is a different "f" than the "f" in "f-string". — mkrieger1

it stands for floating point number, which means the amount of digits after the point
