Hello, I am on chapter 3.7 on "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist, and the newLine concept is troubling me. The text says that if I input
def newLine():
print
def threeLines():
newLine()
newLine()
newLine()

and then type threeLines(), I should get three blank spaces. However, even when I type newLine, it does not skip a line. threeLines does not work either. Could someone help me? Thank you.

Sorry, I figured out where the bug was. print under def newLine(): requires empty brackets. It's supposed to look like this:
def newLine(): 
    print()
def threeLines(): 
    newLine() 
    newLine() 
    newLine()
Sorry, for the inconvenience.
