If you’re like most Python users, including us, then you probably started your Python journey by learning about print(). It helped you write your very own Hello Horld one-liner. You can use it to display formatted messages onto the screen and perhaps find some bugs. But if you think that’s all there is to know about Python’s print(), then you’re missing out on a lot!
Keep reading to take full advantage of this underappreciated little function. This course will get you up to speed with using Python print() effectively. Prepare for a deep dive as you go through the sections. You may be surprised how much print() has to offer!
By the end of this course, you’ll know how to:

Note: print() was a major addition to Python 3, in which it replaced the old print statement available in Python 2.
There were a number of good reasons for that, as you’ll see shortly. Although this tutorial focuses on Python 3, it does show the old way of printing in Python for reference.
