How to include variables in a string? [duplicate]

Question

I'm doing some coursework and I need to determine a character's name. This is what I have so far:

charOne=input("Please input your first character's name: ")
charTwo=input("Please input your second character's name: ")

So the user inputs the names, and now I need to ask the user to choose one of these characters.

chooseCharacter=input("What character do you want to use?"

I need to put the users charOne and charTwo into the question. Or some way need to make the user choose the user they want to use.

I'm not sure what it is you're asking here, can you go into more detail and show more of your code? — SuperBiasedMan

Yea, at the beginning the program asks what you want your name to be- charOne=input("Please input your first character's name: ") charTwo=input("Please input your second character's name: ") So you write two names (e.g michael, and wade) now i need to ask the user to choose one of these characters chooseCharacter=input("What character do you want to use?" and i need to put the users charOne and charTwo into the question. or some way need to make the user choose the user they want to use. — Michael Wade

@MichaelWade Ok, then take a look at what Peter Wood linked above. There are two main ways to insert a variable into a string, that link shows them both and has discussion on them. — SuperBiasedMan

Use Python string formatting:

charOne = input("Please input your first character's name: ")
charTwo = input("Please input your second character's name: ")

chooseCharacter = input("What character do you want to use? (%s or %s): " % (charOne, charTwo))
