Python print statement using f strings

Question

I came across a print statement with f strings which was as below:

a = "data"
print(f">{a:^10}<")

The output that i get out of this is as below:

>   data   <

What i would like to understand is the ^10 in the above print statement. Can someone explain?

Answer 1

^ is for center aligned, and 10 means the minimum width.
