draw a box that takes a input as the box size

I’m trying to learn Python. One of the tasks is to make a box with a dynamic box.

Here’s an example of how it’s supposed to work:

text: ertioe
integer: 40
========================================
=                ertioe                =
========================================

Here’s my code:

print("write in something: ")
string = str(input())

print("write in a integer: ")
integer = float(input())

symbol = '='

print(symbol* (int(integer)+4))
print(symbol, string, symbol)
print(symbol* (int(integer)+4))

My box is all wrong:

Answer

You just need to centre align your string to the correct width, replace the middle print statement with:

print(symbol, string.center(int(integer)), symbol)

Edit:

Also, in case you aren’t aware, you can put the print statements within the input():

string = str(input("write in something: "))

integer = float(input("write in a integer: "))
