Some very frustrating that I ran into here. I tried to do the print users name and number on separate lines with variables only, for example.
name = 'Alex'
number = 5
So I want to do: --print(name, number)-- but with a line break.
print(name, \nnumber)-- error
print(name, '\n', number)-- prints:
Alex
5
How do I get it to print without the space before 5? I have only been able to do this if I did :
print('{} \n{}'.format(name, number))
But it seems unnecessary to do a .format there.
[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

Treehouse Moderator 68,454 PointsThe built-in function print:
print(*objects, sep=' ', end='\n', file=sys.stdout, flush=False)
has a sep parameter that controls what is printed between objects. You could try:
print(name, ā\nā, number, sep=āā)
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
