Can I use f-strings outside of print()?

Yes, you can use f-strings outside of print().

An f-string is just a formatted string, meaning you can use it anywhere a string is used.

Example 1: Assigning to a variable:

name = "Alice"

message = f"Hello, {name}"

print(message)  # Output: Hello, Alice

Example 2: Writing to a file:

age = 30

with open("info.txt", "w") as file:
    file.write(f"User age: {age}")

Example 3: Passing as a function argument:

def greet(msg):
    print(msg)

greet(f"Welcome back, {name}!")

In all of these examples, the f-string is being used to build a string dynamically with variables or expressions, then used just like any regular string—stored, written, passed, or returned.

F-strings are one of the most efficient and readable ways to format strings in Python, and you'll keep finding more ways to use them as your projects grow.
