[Algorithm] Output Methods in Python

Ways to Print in Python

In Python, using f-strings is one of the easiest and most common ways to format and print your data.

f-strings

Python
print(f"a = {a}\nb = {b}")

You can format your output as shown above. If we assume a = 4 and b = 5, the output will look like this:

TEXT
a = 4
b = 5

Repeated Output

Python
print(word * number)

This is possible if word is a string and number is an integer. The word will be repeated as many times as the number specifies. For example, if word = "word" and number = 3, the output will be wordwordword.

If you want to include spaces between the repeated words, there are two main ways to do it:

1. Using .join()

Python
print(" ".join(["word"] * number))

Using the join() function is a very intuitive way to handle repeated output with spaces.

2. Using the sep Argument in print()

Python
print(*["word"] * number, sep=" ")

You can achieve the same result more concisely by using the sep (separator) argument of the print function along with the unpacking operator (*).
