By default on Windows 7, the computer sleeps after 30 minutes. Usually power plans and options are more required on laptops, but desktops also do use this setting.

Sprintf Function in Python

2010

The printf or sprintf function is used to format strings in PHP and C programming constructs. sprintf in php returns the formatted string whereas printf just prints the output.

$variable = sprintf("%d %s %d = %d",4,"+",5,9);
print $variable;
//OR
printf("%d %s %d = %d",4,"+",5,9);
 
//Both lines are identical.
//Prints 4 + 5 = 9

On python, sprintf is handled using an operator instead of function. The % operator on a string does formatting.

var = '%d %s %d = %d' % (4,'+',5,9)
