Print Text
You have already learned that you can use the print() function to display text or output values:
Example
print("Hello World!")You can use the print() function as many times as you want. Each call prints text on a new line by default:
Example
print("Hello World!")
print("I am learning Python.")
print("It is awesome!")Double Quotes
Text in Python must be inside quotes. You can use either " double quotes or ' single quotes:
Example
print("This will work!")
print('This will also work!')If you forget to put the text inside quotes, Python will give an error:
Example
print(This will cause an error)Expected output
SyntaxError: invalid syntax.
Print Without a New Line
By default, the print() function ends with a new line.
If you want to print multiple words on the same line, you can use the end parameter:
Example
print("Hello World!", end=" ")
print("I will print on the same line.")Note that we add a space after end=" " for better readability.
