using print() function in python
problem
EXAMPLE 1
Let’s see some examples of print()
print('Hello') # or "Hello" will give the same output
running
Just type the above function in your Python editor, in my case I use the terminal as follows:
EXAMPLE 2
print(100) #prints the given number
EXAMPLE 3
print('Hello', 100) #prints 2 parameters
EXAMPLE 4
numbers = [1,6,199,-3]
print(100,'Hello', numbers) # prints the 3 given parameteres
When we put multiple parameters to the print() and separate them by comma, the output will have an empty space character between each parameter as shown above. Also the parameters can be of any type like this example it prints an integer then a string and then a list.
EXAMPLE 5
message = "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
print(message)
print(message)
So when we have muptiple print() statements, it’s printing the one after the other separated by a new line. But what if we want to change that and separate the 2 print outputs by a tab?
EXAMPLE 6
message = "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
print(message, end="\t") #prints a tab at the end
print(message) #prints a new line ('\n') by default
As you can see above, by specifying the end=”\t” parameter we change how it behaves. Inside end any value can be added and used to finish the print statement.
conclusion
In this post we saw examples of using the built-in print() statement of Python. Also, how the print() ends with a new line by default and how we can change that by supplying the end parameter and a value.
