difference between %s and %d

[Ethan Furman]

If I'm printing the number 735, or any other positive or negative
integer, is there any difference between %7s and %7d?

integer, is there any difference between %7s and %7d?

Let's ask Python:

>>> [n for n in range(-99999999,99999999,123) if ("%7d" % n) != ("%7s" % n)]

[]

>>> [n for n in range(-99999,99999) if ("%7d" % n) != ("%7s" % n)]

[]

Apparently not.
