Python My Solution

Is my solution the same?

verb = input("Name a verb: ")

noun = input("Name a Noun: ")

adjective = input("Name a adjective: ")

template = ("I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to {} better. Without practice, my {} would probably not even work. My code is getting more {} every single day".format(verb, noun, adjective))

print(template)

All feedback is welcome!

your code looks pretty decent and would do god enough to do the job. For a beginner this is excellent. If you would like to make few advancements to this code. You could use f-string instead of format. Which will look something like this:

template = (f"I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to {verb} better. Without practice, my {noun} would probably not even work. My code is getting more {adjective} every single day".)

This will make your code clean and easy to read. I'm not sure if you are already familiar with this, this is known as f-string. I hope this was some help.

It is not the same because you had the great idea of making the template in the notes a variable by it self. Really smart of you and low-key and lazy but excellent solution (i'm jealous of it)!

Craig just used multiple print statements on their own.

Good job!

Your code is very similar to Craig's code and it is still correct. Craig used a longer but a more understandable route (for beginners) in writing his code. You, on the other hand, took advantage of .format which Craig taught you early on to make it quicker for yourself.

Well done!

I did mine very similarly to yours. I didn't find this practice video until making it all the way to Lists but I tried to take what I've learned through Lists and keep as condensed code as possible. 

verb = input("Please enter a verb:  ")
noun = input("Please enter a noun:  ")
adjective = input("Please enter an adjective:  ")
print("I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to {} better.\nWithout practice, my {} would probably not even work.\nMy code is getting more {} every single day!".format(verb, noun, adjective))

Does Craig go over this type of stuff later on?

Yes, he does. I was able to come up with this code after completing Python Basics and venturing into Lists.

it does the same thing so good job thinking outside the box! only difference is Craig's looks a little cleaner bc it's on 3 separate lines when you run the madlib in the code. nice work

A way to make it visually clean to see three separate lines for the body paragraph, you can just do a line break within the print() function, still using f-string. An IDE like PyCharm will auto-fill the f"" when you hit enter to make a new line while still in the print() function.

verb = input("Enter a verb: ")
noun = input("Enter a noun: ")
adjective = input("Enter an adjective: ")

print(f"I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to {verb} better.\n"
      f"Without practice, my {noun} would probably not even work.\n"
      f"My code is getting more {adjective} every single day!")
