Advanced printing - sep - Introduction to Python

So far, we’ve used print() statements with different arguments, and the program printed those separated by a space. print('abc', 'def', 2) would result in abc def 2.

What if we want to separate the values with a * instead of a space. This is possible by providing a sep parameter to print().

print('hello', 'my', 'name is', 'Python', sep='*')

This program would print hello*my*name is*Python. sep can be any textual value. It can be a phrase (this is a separation, hey hey, etc), it can consist of symbols, and it can even be an empty text sep=''. In the case of an empty text, print would output the values concatenated to each other.

print('hello', 'my', 'name is', 'Python', sep='')
dash = '--'
print('hello', 'my', 'name is', 'Python', sep=dash)

This would result in:

hellomyname isPython
hello--my--name is--Python

So, by default, the sep parameter is set to be a space (' ') and separates the printed values with a single space, but we can modify the output format by passing our desired value to the print function with print(..., sep='...').
