Setting new values for variables in a string

Computer Science Level 2

Now you are going to generate variations on this note for two different students, with a dotted line between the two messages.

You want the output:

1
2
3

Hi Aditya. You achieved a score of 98. It's True that I enjoyed having you as a student.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Sue Troublemaker. You achieved a score of 46.

You write the following code:

name = 'Aditya'
score = 98
liked = True

message = "Hi %s. You achieved a score of %d." % (name, score)
extra = "It's %s that I enjoyed having you as a student." % liked

print message, extra
print "-" * 80

name = 'Sue Troublemaker'
score = 46
liked = False

print message

Does it give you the desired output?

No, below the dotted line it prints: Hi Aditya. You achieved a score of 98 in the class. No, the message for Sue Troublemaker starts on the same row as the dotted line Yes No, I get an error

$message$ variable never get updated with new value, so printing the variable will re-print the same words.
