1. The Basics: Printing Text
The print() function is used to display text (also known as strings) on the screen. Here's a simple example:
Output:
Hello, world!The text inside the parentheses must be enclosed in either double quotes (““) or single quotes (‘‘).
2. Printing Numbers
You can also print numbers directly:
Output:
42
3.143. Combining Text and Variables
You can use print() to display the values of variables:
Output:
My name is Alice and I am 25 years old. Notice how we separate values with commas (,). Python automatically adds spaces between them.
4. Formatting Output
If you want more control over formatting, you can use f-strings (introduced in Python 3.6) or .format():
Output:
My name is Alice and I am 25 years old.
My name is Alice and I am 25 years old.5. Printing Multiple Lines
You can print multiple lines using either multiple print() statements or a multi-line string:
Output:
Line 1
Line 2
This is a
multi-line string.6. Printing Without a Newline
By default, print() adds a new line after every call. If you want to print multiple statements on the same line, use end='':
Output:
Hello World!🏆 Conclusion
The print() function is an essential tool for any Python programmer. Whether you're debugging code, displaying results, or creating interactive programs, mastering print() is a great first step in your Python journey.
