For this topic we are learning how to output text string to the screen. You can also output text strings to a file (but that is a different lesson).

You will also learn how to comment your code.

# a normal hello world print function in python:
print("hello world")
print("from Warsaw")

# This is a handy to print many characters X number of times. I like to use this to visually separate output. 
print("=" * 25)

# we will now look at the end keyword argument:
print("hello world", end='')
print("from Warsaw")
print("=" * 25)

# let's try a different end keyword argument:
print("hello world", end=' -- foo --')
print("from Warsaw")
print("=" * 25)

# we will now look at the sep keyword argument (what should we output between strings)
print("Hello","world", sep='..')
print("from","Warsaw", sep='--')
