It is the process of creating a string that includes variable data by embedding values within a predefined string structure or pattern. It enables the dynamic composition of strings without the need to concatenate values manually. If you want to print someone’s name and age. You could do it like this:

When you start writing Python programs, working with text can confuse you. Strings seem simple at first. You put text between quotes and it works. But then weird things happen. Your file paths break. Your text shows up on different lines when you don’t want it to. Quote marks disappear from your output. These problems happen because Python treats certain characters in special ways. Python sees backslash characters (\) as instructions. When Python finds \n in your text, it creates a new line. When it finds \t, it adds a tab space. These are called escape sequences in Python.
