Python sep parameter in print()



Python | sep parameter in print()

The separator between the arguments to print() function in Python is space by default (softspace feature) , which can be modified and can be made to any character, integer or string as per our choice. The ‘sep’ parameter is used to achieve the same, it is found only in python 3.x or later. It is also used for formatting the output strings.

Examples:

#code for disabling the softspace feature
print('G','F','G', sep='')
#for formatting a date
print('09','12','2016', sep='-')
#another example
print('pratik','geeksforgeeks', sep='@')

Output: 

GFG

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