I had a different answer for the ticket remaining solution.

I had a different answer for the ticket remaining solution.

My Ticket remaining solution was: print("There are {}".format(tickets_remaining), "tickets remaining.")

VS

The Video's ticket remaining solution print("There are {}tickets remaining.".format(tickets_remaining))

Is my solution incorrect, or just simply another way in creating the string?

Hi Auceanne!

This:

tickets_remaining = 5

print("There are {} tickets remaining.".format(tickets_remaining))

prints out:

There are 5 tickets remaining.

This:

tickets_remaining = 5

print("There are {}".format(tickets_remaining), " tickets remaining.") # notice the space before tickets

prints out:

('There are 5', ' tickets remaining.')

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
