print(None) not an empty string

<edit2> This question has been answered. I had read the lesson incorrectly. </edit2> Why does the lesson on None state that it will print an empty string when it prints "None" to the console instead of a blank line? Edit: From the lesson: "When entered at the Python console, it is displayed as the empty string." It displays the string "None", whereas printing an empty string: >>> print(None) None >>> print('') >>>

I was thinking the same and i even tried print(""==None) and got false as result. Anyway None means there is nothing present, so they might have meant it like getting a none as output means there is nothing present like an empty string.

As in the logic of zero The inventor of zero, the Arab writes : "... and put a circle so that the space does not remain empty ..." same for python

Thanks Jacob Paul for your response. I read the lesson incorrectly. When None is entered alone onto the console (no print statement), the output is an empty string, meaning >>>None >>> The console just goes to a new line like you entered nothing and just pressed the return key.
