Python is an interpreted language, it is made so as to carry out each line at a time(interpreted as you type)and not fully compile and run as languages like C++ do. That said, Every line in python code acts as a new line/statement thus when you write print("Hello") print("World!!") these two will be printed on different lines as they are written on different lines...

Also, Python allows you to put two statements on one line if you separate them with a semicolon. E.g arr = [] ; count = 0 is permissible, if bad style. One minor quibble about Frost's otherwise good answer. The output of two print statements occur on separate lines because of the default keyword argument end='\n' . If you define end=' ', then the two print statements will print on the same line.

Python interpret each new line as a separate line of code Thanks to its complex structure, which makes one easier to code in python
