print

If you want any part of your program to display what you have coded you need to use the print command

To print a single line of text

print("You now have")

This would display as

>>>

You now have

>>>

Note you must keep text within speech marks

To print a numbers

print(345)

This would display as

>>>

345

>>>

To print many lines of text

print("""

Once upon a time

A spider crawled along the ground

""")

This would display as

>>>

Once upon a time

A spider crawled along the ground

>>>

Note you must enclose the text with three speech marks """ or three ''' single quote marks

Print text and a variable

hitpoints = 6

print("You have",hitpoints,"hit points.")

This would display as

>>>

You have 6 hit points.

>>>

Printing single items in a list

Debugging print problems

Make sure you have speechmarks around all text and commas to separate text and variables

You can use quote ' marks instead of speechmarks but don't mix both types
