In chapter 2, print(template) is not giving expected answer as the original string never get changed by this format

[AnCyNitinChaudhary]

Your Code: template="{0:.2f} {1:s}are worth US${2:d}" template.format(4.5667,'Argentine Pesos',1) print(template)

Output Your Code: {0:.2f} {1:s}are worth US${2:d}

Updated Code: template="{0:.2f} {1:s}are worth US${2:d}".format(4.5667,'Argentine Pesos',1) print(template)

Output Updated Code: 4.57 Argentine Pesosare worth US$1
