In hwk 1.3 It gives the instructions:

"Write a program that prints out the tic-tac-toe board from exercise 1.2, but uses variables to cut down on the amount of typing you have to do. What I wrote below outputs the correct answer; but it seems so inefficient to have to write print 5 times. Is it possible to print the output of multiple variables and have them jump down to the next line each time?

a = " | |"
b = "--------"

print a
print b
print a
print b
print a

I guess usually you would use some loop around print a and print b.

You can put print a + "
" + b for a new line.

Great advice @estudier I used the "
" to create this which printed the tic-tac-toe design perfectly:

print a + "
" + b + "
" + a + "
" + b + "
" + a
