The Typewriter Effect

The print statement... What's end??

The end parameter in the Python print() function controls what is printed at the end of the output.
By default, print() appends a newline character (\n), so each print() call starts on a new line. 1
You can change this behavior by specifying a different value for end.

We also need something called flush

Why Use flush=True?

It's useful for real-time effects, like typing animations or progress bars, where you want each part of the output to appear instantly.

What is flush=True

Normally, the output of print() is buffered
- - This means Python waits to accumulate more data before actually displaying it in the terminal (especially in interactive programs).
flush=True forces Python to immediately display the output without waiting.

So... Where's the typewriter??

Here's the code for the typewrite effect. I've included WITH and WITHOUT Flush

See which of these work best for you, and modify and play with it!!!
