Python print new line after variable

  • by

You can use the addition operator “+” to print a new line after a variable in Python. Use newline special character (\n) to insert new lines in a string.

print(variable + '\n')

The print function already adds a newline for you, so if you just want to print followed by a newline, do:

print(a)

If the goal is to print the elements of a each separated by newlines, you can either loop explicitly:

for x in a:
    print(x)

or abuse star unpacking to do it as a single statement, using sep to split outputs into different lines:

print(*a, sep="\n")

If you want a blank line between outputs, not just a line break, add end="\n\n" to the first two, or change sep to sep="\n\n" for the final option.

Python print a new line after variable

A simple example code uses the addition (+) operator to print a new line after a variable.

var1 = "Hello"

my_str = var1 + '\n' + 'John'

print(my_str)
print(type(my_str))

Output:

Python print new line after variable

Print a new line after each item in the list of integers

my_list = [2, 4, 8]

result = '\n'.join(str(num) for num in my_list)

print(result)

Output:

2
4
8

Using a formatted string literal

var1 = "Hello"

my_str = f'{var1}\nJohn'
print(my_str)
