Is it possible to use raw_input with a variable?

For example.

max = 100
value = raw_input('Please enter a value between 10 and' max 'for percentage')

Thanks,

Favolas

    This fundamentally has nothing to do with the raw_input function and everything to do with getting a variable to appear as part of a string. Commented Dec 5, 2010 at 0:53

Reset to default
10

You can pass anything that evaluates to a string as a parameter:

value = raw_input('Please enter a value between 10 and' + str(max) + 'for percentage')

use + to concatenate string objects. You also need to explicitely turn non-strings into string to concatenate them using the str() function.

i think this might work

value = input('Please enter a value between 10 and {} for percentage'.format(max))

one more way to do it :)

value = raw_input('Please enter a value between 10 and %i for percentage' % (max))

This might be better as a comment on someone else's answer, but if you want to answer the question you could try to let your answer to stand on its own and add examples for the different ways, you also might want to mention Python 3's new string interpolation features
