By default Python‘s print() function ends with a newline. A programmer with C/C++ background may wonder how to print without a newline. Python’s print() function comes with a parameter called ‘end‘. By default, the value of this parameter is ‘\n’, i.e. the new line character.
Example 1:
Here, we can end a print statement with any character/string using this parameter.
Python3
# ends the output with a space print ( "Welcome to" , end = ' ' ) print ( "Lazyroar" , end = ' ' ) |
Output:
Welcome to Lazyroar
Example 2:
One more program to demonstrate the working of the end parameter.
Python3
# ends the output with '@' print ( "Python" , end = '@' ) print ( "Lazyroar" ) |
Output:
Python@Lazyroar
Example 3:
The print() function uses the sep parameter to separate the arguments and ends after the last argument.
Python3
print ( 'G' , 'F' , sep = ' ', end=' ') print ( 'G' ) #\n provides new line after printing the year print ( '09' , '12' , '2016' , sep = '-' , end = '\n' ) print ( 'Red' , 'Green' , 'Blue' , sep = ',' , end = '@' ) print ( 'neveropen' ) |
Output
GFG 09-12-2016 Red,Green,Blue@neveropen
Using end to concatenate strings:
In this example, we use the end parameter to concatenate the two print() statements into a single line of output. The end parameter is set to a space character ” ” for the first print() statement, so the second print() statement will start on the same line, separated by a space character.
The end parameter is a useful feature of the print() function in Python that can be used to control the formatting of output in various ways.
Python3
name = "Alice" age = 30 print ( "My name is" , name, "and I am" , age, "years old." , end = " " ) print ( "Nice to meet you!" ) |
My name is Alice and I am 30 years old. Nice to meet you!
