Skip Line \n

Summary:

Python’s newline character
Code:
\n
indicates the end of a line of text.
The built-in
Code:
print()
function automatically adds a newline character
Code:
\n
at the end.
You can customize this behavior of separating two lines using a single newline character
Code:
'\n'
by changing the default
Code:
end='\n'
argument of the
Code:
print()
function to your desired string.
Another way to skip a line in the Python output is to add an empty
Code:
print()
statement that will just print an empty line and do nothing else.

Python’s newline character to indicate the end of a line of text is

Code:
\n

.

If you print a string to the shell using the built-in

Code:
print()

function, Python automatically adds a newline character

Code:
\n

at the end.

Code:
PYTHON CODE:
print('hello\nworld\n\nPython is great!') OUTPUT:
hello
world Python is great!

For example, if you iterate over the text in a file using a

Code:
for

loop and print each line in the loop body, the lines are separated with single new lines.

Code:
#################################
# File: my_filename.txt #
#################################
# My #
# File #
# Content #
################################# with open('my_filename.txt', 'r') as my_file: for line in my_file.readlines(): print(line) # Output:
My
File
Content

You can customize this behavior of separating two lines using a single newline character

Code:
'\n'

by changing the default

Code:
end='\n'

argument of the

Code:
print()

function to your desired string.

For example, you can skip two lines in Python using

Code:
print(my_string, end='\n\n')

by chaining two newline characters

Code:
'\n\n'

Code:
with open('my_filename.txt', 'r') as my_file: for line in my_file.readlines(): print(line, end='\n\n') # Output:
My File Content # End Output

Another way to skip a line in the Python output is to add an empty

Code:
print()

statement that will just print an empty line and do nothing else.

Code:
with open('my_filename.txt', 'r') as my_file: for line in my_file.readlines(): print(line) print() # Output:
My File Content # End Output
