<snip>> Question: What is the purpose of %s ?

I will admit that this is homework for me. However, this is more for my log
book and not for marks.

According to my understanding, the purpose of the %s is to turn the numbers,
which the program has recognized as numbers, into strings, so that they fit
in the print command without any syntax errors.

Could you guide me in the right direction if it is completely off?
