By default Python‘s print() function ends with a newline. A programmer with C/C++ background may wonder how to print without a newline. Python’s print() function comes with a parameter called ‘end‘. By default, the value of this parameter is ‘\n’, i.e. the new line character.

Example 1:

Here, we can end a print statement with any character/string using this parameter.

Python3

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

print("GeeksforGeeks", end= ' ')

Output:

Welcome to GeeksforGeeks

Example 2:

One more program to demonstrate the working of the end parameter.

Python3

print("Python", end='@')

print("GeeksforGeeks")

Output:

Python@GeeksforGeeks

Example 3:

The print() function uses the sep parameter to separate the arguments and ends after the last argument.

Python3

print('G','F', sep='', end='')

print('G')

print('09','12','2016', sep='-', end='\n')

print('Red','Green','Blue', sep=',', end='@')

print('geeksforgeeks')

Output

GFG
09-12-2016
Red,Green,Blue@geeksforgeeks

So, I'm struggling trying to understand this kinda simple exercise

def a(n):
    for i in range(n):
        for j in range(n):
            if i == 0 or i == n-1 or j == 0 or j == n-1:
                print('*',end='')
            else:
                print(' ',end='')
        print()

which prints an empty square. I tought I could use the code

            print("*", ''*(n-2),"*")

to print the units in between the upper and the lower side of the square but they won't be aligned to the upper/lower side ones, which doesn't happen if you run the first code... so... could this be because of end='' or print() (would you be so kind and tell me what do they mean?)?

Check the reference page of print. By default there is a newline character appended to the item being printed (end='\n'), and end='' is used to make it printed on the same line.

And print() prints an empty newline, which is necessary to keep on printing on the next line.

EDITED: added an example.
Actually you could also use this:

def a(n):
    print('*' * n)
    for i in range(n - 2):
        print('*' + ' ' * (n - 2) + '*')
    if n > 1:
        print('*' * n)

In Python 3.x, the end=' ' is used to place a space after the displayed string instead of a newline.

please refer this for a further explanation.

spam = ['apples', 'bananas', 'tofu', 'cats']
    i = 0
    for i in range(len (spam)):
        if i == len(spam) -1:
            print ('and', spam[i])
        elif i == len (spam) -2:
            print (spam [i], end=' ')
        else:
            print (spam [i], end=', ')

So I'm new to this whole coding thing, but I came up with this code. It's probably not as sophisticated as the other stuff, but it does the job.

spam = ['apples', 'bananas', 'tofu', 'cats']    
def fruits():
    i = 0
    while i != len(spam):
        if len(spam) != i :
            print ('and', spam[i])
            i += 1   
 fruits()

try this!

print() uses some separator when it has more than one parameter. In your code you have 3 ("" is first, ''(n-2) - second, "*" -third). If you don't want to use separator between them add sep='' as key-word parameter.

print("*", ' '*(n-2), "*", sep='')

use this to understand

for i in range(0,52):
    print(5*"fiof" ,end=" ")

just put different things here in end and also use with sep

What does end () do in Python?
Python print end keyword
The end key of print function will set the string that needs to be appended when printing is done. By default the end key is set by newline character. So after finishing printing all the variables, a newline character is appended.
What does end \r do in Python?
Put the \r at the beginning or end of your printed string, e.g. '\rthis string will start at the beginning of the line' . or 'the next string will start at the beginning of the line\r' . Conceptually, \r moves the cursor to the beginning of the line and then keeps outputting characters as normal.
What does end == mean in Python?
In Python 3. x, the end=' ' is used to place a space after the displayed string instead of a newline.
What is the purpose of end?
Ans. 4 The purpose of end is to append a string at the end of a print(). Appending a string to another string can also be accomplished by the “+” operator which is also known as the concatenation operator.
