Python: Framing a Title

To create a series of dashes beneath the line that prints name, with the length of the dashes matching the length of the name string, you can use a simple Python statement to repeat the dash (-) as many times as needed. Here’s how you can do it:
symbol = info['symbol']
shortName = info['shortName']
longName = info['longName']
name = symbol + " " + shortName + " / " + longName
print()
print(f"{Style.BRIGHT}{Fore.LIGHTCYAN_EX}{name}{Style.RESET_ALL}")
# Determine the length of the 'name' string
name_length = len(name)
# Create a series of dashes with a length equal to the length of 'name'
dashes = '-' * name_length
# Print the series of dashes beneath the 'name' string
print(dashes)
In this code, the variable name_length contains the length of the name string, and the variable dashes is a string composed of a dash repeated as many times as the length of name. Printing it will give you a series of dashes of the same length as name, thus underlining the previously printed string.
## One-line command
Yes, it is entirely possible to condense these new lines into a single line using Python expressions, making the code more concise. Here's how you can do it:

Yes, it is entirely possible to condense these new lines into a single line using Python expressions, making the code more concise. Here's how you can do it:
In this condensed code, the first part remains the same: you define the variables symbol, shortName, longName, and name. Then, during printing, we use an f-string to display name in the desired format.
The {’-’ * len(name)} is an expression that generates a series of dashes (-) with a length equal to the length of name. This avoids defining an additional variable for the series of dashes and allows it to be displayed directly in the print statement.
By executing this code, you will get the same result as before with just one additional line of code below the name print, thus underlining the name string.
