How to print in same line in Python

1. Using the end Parameter in print()

The print() function by default ends its output with a newline (\n). To print on the same line, you can use the end parameter to replace the newline with another character, such as a space.

Syntax:

print("text", end="replacement_string")

• Default behavior: end="\n" (adds a newline after the printed text).
• If you change end to another value (like a space), it prevents the newline.

print("Welcome", end=" ")
print("to Jobinge")

Output:

Welcome to Jobinge

Explanation:

• The first print() outputs "Welcome" without adding a newline, as end=" " replaces it with a space.
• The second print() outputs "to Jobinge" immediately after.

2. Using String Concatenation or Formatting

You can concatenate strings or format them to print everything in a single statement on the same line.

Example 1: String Concatenation

print("Welcome" + " " + "to Jobinge")

Output:

Welcome to Jobinge

Explanation:

• "Welcome", a space (" "), and "to Jobinge" are concatenated into a single string and printed.

Example 2: String Formatting with f-strings

platform = "Jobinge"
print(f"Welcome to {platform}")

Output:

Welcome to Jobinge

Explanation:

• Using f-strings (formatted strings), the value of platform is dynamically inserted into the string.

3. Printing in a Loop on the Same Line

When printing multiple items in a loop, use the end parameter to avoid starting a new line for each iteration.

Example:

for word in ["Welcome", "to", "Jobinge"]:
    print(word, end=" ")

Output:

Welcome to Jobinge

Explanation:

• Each word is printed on the same line with a space (end=" ") instead of a newline after each print().

4. Flushing the Output in Real-Time

Sometimes, when printing in loops, the output may be buffered (delayed). Use flush=True to force immediate display of the output.

Example:

import time

for word in ["Welcome", "to", "Jobinge"]:
    print(word, end=" ", flush=True)
    time.sleep(1)

Output (appears one word at a time):

Welcome to Jobinge

Explanation:

• The flush=True forces immediate printing of each word.
• time.sleep(1) adds a 1-second delay for demonstration.

5. Using sys.stdout.write

For precise control over output, use sys.stdout.write(). Unlike print(), it does not automatically add a newline (\n).

Example:

import sys

sys.stdout.write("Welcome ")
sys.stdout.write("to Jobinge\n")

Output:

Welcome to Jobinge

Explanation:

• sys.stdout.write("Welcome ") writes "Welcome " without adding a newline.
• sys.stdout.write("to Jobinge\n") appends "to Jobinge" followed by a newline (\n).

Summary

The best ways to print in the same line are given below:

1. For simple cases, use print(..., end="...").
2. Use string concatenation or f-strings to combine dynamic content.
3. Use flush=True for real-time output in loops.
4. Use sys.stdout.write for low-level control.
