Python end parameter in print()

By default Python‘s print() function ends with a newline. A programmer with C/C++ background may wonder how to print without a newline. Python’s print() function comes with a parameter called ‘end‘. By default, the value of this parameter is ‘\n’, i.e. the new line character. 

Example 1:

Here, we can end a print statement with any character/string using this parameter. 

Python3

# ends the output with a space
print("Welcome to", end = ' ')
print("GeeksforGeeks", end= ' ')

Output:

Welcome to GeeksforGeeks

Example 2: 

One more program to demonstrate the working of the end parameter. 

Python3

# ends the output with '@'
print("Python", end='@')
print("GeeksforGeeks")

Output:

Python@GeeksforGeeks

Example 3:

The print() function uses the sep parameter to separate the arguments and ends after the last argument.

Python3

print('G','F', sep='', end='')
print('G')
#\n provides new line after printing the year
print('09','12','2016', sep='-', end='\n')

print('Red','Green','Blue', sep=',', end='@')
print('geeksforgeeks')

Output

GFG
09-12-2016
Red,Green,Blue@geeksforgeeks

Using end to concatenate strings:

In this example, we use the end parameter to concatenate the two print() statements into a single line of output. The end parameter is set to a space character ” ” for the first print() statement, so the second print() statement will start on the same line, separated by a space character.

The end parameter is a useful feature of the print() function in Python that can be used to control the formatting of output in various ways.

Python3

name = "Alice"
age = 30
print("My name is", name, "and I am", age, "years old.", end=" ")
print("Nice to meet you!")

Output

My name is Alice and I am 30 years old. Nice to meet you!
