2.4. Syntax Print

Important

print() - Print on the screen
Either quotes (") or apostrophes (') will work
String interpolation will substitute variable
Use \n for newline

2.4.1. Print

Prints on the screen
Print string
Print variable
Print formatted (interpolated) string
More information in Builtin Printing

Print string:

✘>>> print('Hello World')
Hello World

Print variable:

✘>>> text = 'Hello World'
>>> print(text)
Hello World

2.4.2. Newline

Use \n for newline
Do not add space after \n character

✘>>> print('Hello World')
Hello World

✘>>> print('Hello\nWorld')
Hello
World

Mind, not to add additional space after the newline character. This will cause Python to print a newline and then space character:

✘>>> print('Hello\n World')
Hello
 World

2.4.3. String Interpolation

String interpolation will substitute variable
More information in String Literals

Adding f in front of the string will turn on the string interpolation - variable substitution.

✘>>> name = 'Alice'
>>>
>>> f'Hello {name}'
'Hello Alice'

Without it, string will be interpreted as it is - with curly braces and variable name in it.

✘>>> name = 'Alice'
>>>
>>> 'Hello {name}'
'Hello {name}'

Even if you use f-string, but your variable is not in proper brackets, it will be not interpolated.

✘>>> name = 'Alice'
>>>
>>> f'Hello (name)'
'Hello (name)'

2.4.4. Print Interpolated String

✘>>> name = 'Alice'
>>>
>>> print(f'Hello {name}')
Hello Alice

2.4.5. Recap

print() - Print on the screen
Either quotes (") or apostrophes (') will work
String interpolation (f-string) will substitute variable
Use \n for newline
