Why do I get an error with print(f"({x}, {y})")?

Question

for x in range(5):
  for y in range(3):
    print(f"({x}, {y})")

I was trying to follow along in a python mastery class but I kept getting the following error.

     File "c:\Users\███\Desktop\Py Products\Tutorial\HelloWorld\app.py", line 3
    print(f"({x}, {y})")
                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You appear to be using Python 3.5 or earlier, which don't support f-strings. — chepner, Jan 10 '22 at 16:00

you are trying to format the string while printing so you can use

for x in range(5):
  for y in range(3):
    print('{}, {}'.format(x, y))

If you use a version of Python that is not outdated the f-string should work. – Matthias Jan 10 '22 at 18:48
