Difficulties with the % Operator in Python

Question

myvar = "How are you ?"    
print("%s %s") % (hello, myvar)

Its one of my python Task for University but it doesnt work ?? I use Python 3 could it be for 2 ?? And how would it look like for 3 then ?

Have you tried looking through the documentation for string formatting? — wwii, Dec 06 '14 at 15:18

You should move it inside brackets

print("%s %s" % (hello, myvar))

as in your case "%" is used in the context "NoneType tuple", while it should be used in a context "str tuple"

In python3, the print is a function unlike in python 2 where it is actually a statement.

so, as it is told, in python3 give the argument inside () ie

print(hello, myvar)
