Python: How to add a new line with a variable inside of the print function












2














In Python, I'm aware that 'n' adds a new line when using a string inside of a print call. But how do I add a new line when using a variable inside of the print function?



For example:



print("nHello") # <----- string used, no issues here


produces



>>> print("nHello")

Hello


Now suppose I have a list named guest_list. How would I do something akin
to "print('n'guest_list)", printing an empty line and then the list?



Thanks for any help offered!

You can pass an empty string as the first argument and sep='n' if you want to avoid formatting/concatenation before printing.



>>> guest_list = [1, 2, 3]
>>> print('', guest_list, sep='n')

[1, 2, 3]


... or equivalently:



>>> print('n', guest_list, sep='')

[1, 2, 3]

    Or convert to string, then add 'n' to it:



    >>> l=[1,2,3]
    >>> print('n'+str(l))

    [1, 2, 3]
