I'm reading this textbook called "Practical Statistics for Data Scientists" and this :.3f keeps getting used in almost every f-string. What does :.3f mean? My guess is it has something to do with floating point numbers.
Example:
{house_lm_factor.intercept_:.3f}
This is show you how many number are printing:
>>> import math
>>> flt = math.pi
>>> f'{flt:.3f}'
'3.142'
>>> f'{flt:.5f}'
'3.14159'
>>> f'{flt:.10f}'
'3.1415926536'
