Question

Just a thought on the print statement, where we have
String = hello world,
it can be printed with or without brackets, like
print String OR
print(String)

Is there a recommended or preferred way of doing this ?

Answer 1

You will need quotes for one. Then I think that it depends on the version of Python if the brackets are required or not!

Answer 2

ye i agree with Chris

Answer 3

No,only quotes used on assigning the value, on printing out see below both ways

>>> String = 'hello world'
>>> print String
hello world
>>> print(String)
hello world

Answer 4

what chris says is that some older versions might not work without brackets or find brackets wrong.
what python version do u use?

tbh if i could use both id choose the brackets cause seems more clean that way.

Answer 5

That's what I thought, seems better with the brackets

Answer 6

Python 3 requires print (), while Python 2.x is fine with either.

I generally see it not using parentheses if it's Python 2.x.

Answer 7

kTwitch is right and since I use 3.x for a different course I prefer to use the brackets rather than switching back and forth.
