Question

My homework assignment is to Loop over ((1, 1), (2, 2), (12, 13), (4, 4)) and use string formatting to display this tuple as:

1 = 1 x 1  
4 = 2 x 2
156 = 12 x 13 
16 = 4 x 4

while also preserving the spacing.

What I have so far:

d = ((1,1), (2,2), (12,13), (4,4))
for a, b in d:
    print("{0} = {1}".format(a* b, d))

Which gives me:

1 = ((1, 1), (2, 2), (12, 13), (4, 4))
4 = ((1, 1), (2, 2), (12, 13), (4, 4))
156 = ((1, 1), (2, 2), (12, 13), (4, 4))
16 = ((1, 1), (2, 2), (12, 13), (4, 4))

So it seems to me that I am getting close. But I have run out of ideas to get the right side of the equation into the correct format. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

d = ((1,1), (2,2), (12,13), (4,4))
for a, b in d:
    print("{0} = {1} x {2}".format(a* b, a, b))
