Question

I am a beginner in programming and now learning Python by myself. I couldn't do this example:

def newLine():
print

print "first line"
newLine()
print "second line"

and the output is:
first line

second line

How do you type the "print" part in paragraphs? There are no tutorials on that matter.

the"print 'first line', newLine... " part. How do you write in paragraphs?

Answer 2

Well the statements defining the program newLine look fine to me. The second part -- the statements running the program -- don't need to be indented, as they are all separate statements which are not part of a program definition.

Answer 3

I could explain and help more if you can tell me exactly the output you want.

Anyway, try this:

print "first line"
print "\n"
print "\tthis is line tabbed by one tabspace"

Output:

first line

this is line tabbed by one tabspace

Answer 4

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but if you use triple quotes, you can type on multiple lines.

print """Hi there.
This is another line.
This is yet another line."""
