Tuple index out of range in .format
I have two arguments that I want to print
print('0:25$2:>5.2f'.format('object', 20))
But they give the following response:
Traceback (most recent call last):
IndexError: tuple index out of range
But I get the desired output when I changed the code to the following:
print('0:25$2:>5.2f'.format('object', 20, 20))
I don't understand why as I only have two sets of . Thanks

your problem is the 2 index after the $ sign:
print('0:25$2:>5.2f'.format('object', 20, 20))
when you use .format in on string in python the number at number: is the index for the argument you want there.
for example the following:
"hello there 1: i want you to give me 0: dollars".format(2,"Tom")
will resualt in the following output:
'hello there Tom i want you to give me 2 dollars'
there is a simple example here:
https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/methods/string/format
so to sum up, in order for your code to work just use:
print('0:25$1:>5.2f'.format('object', 20))

Or use auto-numbering by excluding the explicit positional argument, eg:':25$:>5.2f'

It should be
>>> print('0:25$1:>5.2f'.format('object', 20))
object $20.00
Note the change of the placeholder from 2 to 1
print('0:25$1:>5.2f'.format('object', 20))
### ^
When you add a third parameter (a second 20), the placeholder 2 finds a value
>>> print('0:25$2:>5.2f'.format('object', 20, 20))
object $20.00
But without the third parameter, an index out of range exception is thrown.
