The use of newline.

Why do we use \n ? What is the difference between using a “space” and “\n”?

We use \n if we want the text after that to be on the next line. Space simply separates text between your characters/words, without it, text won't be much readable. print('This line has some space in between and \n a few \n newline characters', 'Thislinehasnospaceinbetweenbut\nafew\nnewlinecharacters')

To add a newline in a string, use the character combination \n: >>> print("Languages:\nPython\nC\nJavaScript") Languages: Python C JavaScript To add a tab (whitespace) to your text, use the character combination \t as shown at (1): >>> print("Python") Python >>> print("\tPython") (1) Python
