Is print command useless?

It seems using quotation marks without the print keyword gives the same result of printing the text.

It won't. It will just show the same text in the interactive prompt. https://code.sololearn.com/c2ZJiR2wKDho/?ref=app

print() will call the object’s __str__() method. Simply typing a variable in interactive mode will call the object’s __repr__() method. They aren’t always the same. Besides, print() can be used multiple times in script mode, while the other option will (as far as I know) only work for the last variable.

Do you have an example to post here? This definitely doesn’t work for me. Print is actually a function so without it, nothing happens.

print is probably the most important thing in python because thats how you get an output most of the time ex. print(“hello world”) output- hello world x = 5-2 print(x) output- 3
