How to add a line break in python?

Question

I just made a program in python but the statements are too close to each other in the output. So how can i add a line break between two statements in python.

Do you mean a line break in your script, or a line break in your output? — Chris

You can simply do a print or print() on its own to give you a blank line. — Martin Evans

You can print new line characters:

print('\n'*numlines)

\n gives you a new line. You can put it anywhere in a string and when printing it you get a new line.

In [1]: print('ab')
ab

In [2]: print('a\nb')
a
b

There are more of this kind, including tabs etc. https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#literals

To print a list of statements with line break:

    list=['statement one','statement two', 'statement three']
    list_element_on_separate_line = '\n'.join(list)
    print(list_element_on_separate_line)`
>>>
statement one
statement two
statement three
