Spacing between letters

Question

does Python takes note of whitespace unlike c++ or ignores the space till the end of that line. For example-
print( " hey ya ")

Answer 1

Whitespace is a valid character and is printed out, taken into account in string's length and so on.

Answer 2

No the spacing between print and ( doesn't matter, but the standard in Python is no space.

Answer 3

" hey ya "
in either c++ or python is a string and all the whitespace between the quotes would be included with it.

print ("hello")
