<p>Python’s newline character to indicate the end of a line of text is <code>\n</code>.</p>
<p>If you print a string to the shell using the built-in <code><a href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" data-type="post" data-id="20731" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">print()</a></code> function, Python automatically adds a <a href="https://blog.finxter.com/how-to-print-without-newline-in-python-a-simple-illustrated-guide/" data-type="post" data-id="12199" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">newline character</a> <code>\n</code> at the end.</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">PYTHON CODE:
<code>print('hello\nworld\n\nPython is great!')</code> OUTPUT:
<code>hello
world Python is great!</code></pre>
<p>For example, if you iterate over the text in a file using a <code>for</code> <a href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-loops/" data-type="post" data-id="4596" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">loop</a> and print each line in the loop body, the lines are separated with single new lines.</p>

<p>You can customize this behavior of separating two lines using a single newline character <code>'\n'</code> by changing the default <code>end='\n'</code> argument of the <code>print()</code> function to your desired string. </p>
<p>For example, you can skip two lines in Python using <code>print(my_string, end='\n\n')</code> by chaining two newline characters <code>'\n\n'</code>. </p>
