You can use the sep
parameter to get rid of the spaces:
>>> print["a","b","c"]
a b c
>>> print["a","b","c",sep=""]
abc
I don't know what you mean by "Java style"; in Python you can't add strings to [say] integers that way, although if a
and b
are strings it'll work. You have several other options, of course:
>>> print["a = ", a, ", b = ", b, sep=""]
a = 2, b = 3
>>> print["a = " + str[a] + ", b = " + str[b]]
a = 2, b = 3
>>> print["a = {}, b = {}".format[a,b]]
a = 2, b = 3
>>> print[f"a = {a}, b = {b}"]
a = 2, b = 3
The last one requires Python 3.6 or later. For earlier versions, you can simulate the same effect [although I don't recommend this in general, it comes in handy sometimes and there's no point pretending otherwise]:
>>> print["a = {a}, b = {b}".format[**locals[]]]
a = 2, b = 3
>>> print["b = {b}, a = {a}".format[**locals[]]]
b = 3, a = 2
Introduction
The print[]
function in Python appends a newline to the output when displayed on the tty [teletypewriter A.K.A the terminal]. When you don't want your message displayed with newlines or with spaces, how can you change the behavior of print[]
?

This can easily be achieved by altering the default values of the sep
and end
parameters of the print[]
function.
Printing Without a Newline
Until Python version 2.x, print
was a reserved keyword that acts as a special statement. Since
Python version 3.x, the print
command has evolved into a function.
This version of print[]
is capable of taking the following arguments:
The values [value1
, value2
] mentioned above can be any string or any of the data types like list, float, string, etc. The other arguments include a separator [sep
] used to divide the values given as arguments whereas the argument end
is the \n
newline character by default. This is the reason why whenever the print[]
function
is called, the cursor slides to the next line.
In Python 3.x, the most straightforward way to print without a newline is to set the end
argument as an empty string i.e. ''
. For example, try executing the following snippet in your Python interpreter:
print["I am a sentence", "I am also a sentence"]
The interpreter would output the following:
I am a sentence I am also a sentence
>>>
We are printing two strings, so Python will use the value of sep
, a blank space by default, to print them together. Python also adds a newline character at
the end, so the interpreter prompt goes to the end line.
Now modify the previous statement to look like this:
print["I am a sentence", "I am also a sentence", sep="; ", end=""]
Upon executing it in the interpreter, you will get an output resembling:
I am a sentence; I am also a sentence>>>
Two things happened here - the separator between the two strings now also includes a semicolon. The interpreter prompt also appears on the same line because we removed the automatically appended newline character.
Printing Without a Newline in Python 2.X
For earlier versions of Python - less than 3 but greater than 2.6 - you can import print_function
from the __future__
module. This will override the existing print
keyword with the print[]
function as shown below:
from __future__ import print_function
print["I am a sentence", "I am also a sentence", sep="; ", end=""]

This will also yield:
I am a sentence; I am also a sentence>>>
This is how you can use
Python version 3's print[]
function in Python 2.x.
Using stdout.write[]
The sys
module has built-in functions to write directly to the file or the tty. This function is available for Python 2.x and 3.x versions. We can use the write[]
method of the sys
module's stdout
object to print on the console like this:
import sys
sys.stdout.write["I am a line"]
Let's execute this and take a look at the output:
I am a line>>>
Although this gives the output of what we are trying to
achieve, there are quite a few differences between the write[]
function and the print[]
function. The print[]
function can print multiple values at a time, can accept non-string values, and is friendlier to developers.
Conclusion
In this article, we have explored the different ways by which values can be printed without a newline character/carriage return. This strategy can come quite handy while printing the elements in the outputs of algorithms such as a binary tree or printing the contents of a list next to each other.
