If you want a deeper guide to Scala, when I was learning I used Programming Scala and Scala for Data Science.

The proper term from this is string interpolation.

Create A Value



In [5]:

    
// Create some values
val number_of_soldiers: Short = 542
val casualties: Short = 32

Add The Value To A String



In [12]:

    
print(f"Before the battle we had $number_of_soldiers soldiers. However, now we have ${number_of_soldiers - casualties}.")









    



Before the battle we had 542 soldiers. However, now we have 510.
