> [!note] Concept
|
|
> The `print()` function outputs a message (usually a string) to the screen.
|
|
>
|
|
> > [!example] Example
|
|
> > ```python
|
|
> > print('Hello, world!')
|
|
> > print('What is your name?') # ask for name
|
|
> > print() # Blank Output
|
|
> > ```
|
|

|
|
> > [!important] Best Practices
|
|
> > - Use `print()` to confirm variable values or trace execution during debugging.
|
|
> > - Add comments to describe the purpose of each printed message where helpful.
|
|
> > For formatted strings, prefer:
|
|
> > ```python
|
|
> > name = "Alice"
|
|
> > print(f"Hello, {name}!")
|
|
> > ```
