Output in Python - print() function

  • In Python we can display output using the print() function. 
  • We can display any type of data using the print() function e.g. strings, integers, floats, and lists etc.

Displaying strings using print

  • To display strings pass the string enclosed in quotes to the print function.
  • Here is a simple example of using the print() function to display a string: 

print("Hello, world!") 

# Output 
# Hello, world!


print("Hello, " +  "world!")

# Output 
# Hello, world!


Displaying Integers and floats 


print(42)
print(3.14159)

# Output 
# 42
# 3.14159.

Displaying Lists using print 

  • Lists can be displayed using the print() function as follows :   

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(my_list)

# Output 
# [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

Displaying Variables and Literals using print


x = 10
print("The value of x = ", x)
print("I am a string literal")

# Output 
# The value of x = 10
# I am a string literal
