Question

Assignment 0 (answer included): I'm interested in different variations of the answer. Below was the script I wrote:

last = raw_input('What is your last name?')
print last
first = raw_input('What is your first name?')
print first
print 'Your name is ' + first,last

One of the question I have is: Does it make a difference if you put a in between "first,last"... i.e: first, last instead of first,last

Answer 1

It Does not make any difference, I guess the best think you can do it's try yourself, and see what's happen.

It's more readable to write : first, last
So usualy there is always space after a coma, but it is only conventional

Answer 2

The comma between first, last already adds a space.

Answer 3

Thank you nicolas & jztein.

Answer 4

I usually use the str.format method ( http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#str.format), since you can type it exactly the way you want it to look for strings that are more complicated. In this case:

print 'Your name is {0} {1}'.format(first,last)

Answer 5

There is a website that has many different variations to each assignment. The link is: http://curiousreef.com/class/mit-opencourseware-600-introduction/lesson/1/retricen/1/

Answer 6

This is my script, it is in the format the problem asked.
last = raw_input('Enter your last name:\n**')
first = raw_input('Enter your first name:\n**')
print(first + '\n' + last)
And to answer your question no, if you put the a space it is more visually pleasing but there is no difference in out. Generally you want clean readable code.

Answer 7

My answer was a tad different. But yours seems simpler.

question = "Enter your last name:"
print question
answer1 = raw_input ()
question2 = "Enter your first name:"
print question2
answer2 = raw_input ()
print answer2
print answer1
