Printing More Than Once

Lines, blank lines, and combining text

6 min read · runnable Python

One print is great, but real programs usually show several lines. Good news: you can use print as many times as you like, one after another.

One line each

Each print command puts its text on its own new line:

print("Good morning!")
print("Welcome to Python.")
print("Let's begin.")

That shows three separate lines. Each print automatically moves to a fresh line when it's done "" you don't have to do anything special for that.

Printing a blank line

An empty print() "" with nothing inside the brackets "" gives you a blank line. This is handy for adding a little breathing room:

print("Top line")
print()
print("Bottom line")

Combining text in one print

You can show several pieces of text in a single print by separating them with commas. Python adds a space between each piece automatically:

print("Tea", "or", "coffee?")

That shows: Tea or coffee? on one line.

Tip: Lines that start with # are comments. The computer ignores them completely. They're notes for humans "" a way to leave reminders in your code. You'll see them used throughout these lessons.

Your turn

Run the example, then try adding your own extra print lines to write a short message.

Try it yourself

print("Good morning!")
print("Welcome to Python.")
print()
print("Tea", "or", "coffee?")
# Add your own print line below this comment:
