# Formatting strings review A convenient way to format strings in Go is by using the standard library's [fmt.Sprintf()](https://pkg.go.dev/fmt#example-Sprintf) function. It's a string interpolation function, similar to JavaScript's built-in template literals. The `%v` substring uses the type's default formatting, which is often what you want. ### Default values ```go const name = "Kim" const age = 22 s := fmt.Sprintf("%v is %v years old.", name, age) // s = "Kim is 22 years old." ``` The equivalent JavaScript code: ```js const name = 'Kim' const age = 22 s = `${name} is ${age} years old.` // s = "Kim is 22 years old." ``` ### Rounding floats ```go fmt.Printf("I am %f years old", 10.523) // I am 10.523000 years old // The ".2" rounds the number to 2 decimal places fmt.Printf("I am %.2f years old", 10.523) // I am 10.53 years old ``` ## Assignment We need better error logs for our backend developers to help them debug their code. Complete the `getSMSErrorString()` function. It should return a string with this format: ``` SMS that costs $COST to be sent to 'RECIPIENT' can not be sent ``` * `COST` is the cost of the SMS, always showing the price formatted to 2 decimal places. * `RECIPIENT` is the stringified representation of the recipient's phone number *Be sure to include the $ symbol and the single quotes*
