title: What is the Python 3 equivalent of %s in strings?
body: <p>I've made some basic progress in python before, nothing more than command land algebra calculators to do math homework, using user-defined functions, inputs, and basic stuff. I've since taken the Python 2 course that codeacademy has, and I'm finding no equivalent of using % and %s for PY3.</p>
  
  <p>I've narrowed it down to having some relation to format() , but that's as far as I could find on Google.</p>
  
  <p>As a beginner, I'd really appreciate a watered down explanation to how to translate this into Python 3:</p>
  
  <pre><code>str1 = "Bob,"
  str2 = "Marcey."
  print "Hello %s hello %s" % (str1, str2)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>EDIT: Also, I'm aware that print("Hello " + str1 + "hello " + str2) would work.</p>
