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 spaceprint("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 yearprint('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 = 30print("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!
