Printing the text horizontally in Python Programming language

Hi guys,

        We know that the "print" function is used to print the data to the standard output device in Python Programming language. But, the print function automatically adds a newline character every time we cal it.

       For example, consider a program segment to display numbers from 1 to 5:

                                            

                              for n in range(1,6):
                                    print n

      

   The output of the code will be:

                              1

                              2

                              3

                              4

                              5

  But what if we want the output to be something like:

                1 2 3 4 5

   How do we go about it?

    The answer to this is indeed very simple. The key is to add a "," after the variable

 at the end of the print statement. Consider the following code to print the even and

odd numbers in the given range, to illustrates the technique:

#-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-        CODE BEGINS           -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

limit = int(input("Enter the maximum limit\n"));

print"The Even numbers in the given range are:\n"

for i in range(0,limit,2):
    print i

print"\nThe odd numbers in the given range are:\n"

for j in range(1,limit,2):
    print j,

#-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-        CODE ENDS           -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

The output of the above code is:

Enter the maximum limit

10

The Even numbers in the given range are:

0

2

4

6

8

The odd numbers in the given range are:

1 3 5 7 9

So as we can see, the "," added after j helps us to print the odd numbers in the

horizontal fashion.

And also, please not that the range() function can take two or three parameters.

Hence the range() function is polymorphic in nature.

I'll be posting more about the range() and xrange() functions in another post of mine.

I hope you like this post. Please do leave your valuable comments below.

    Thank you very much.
