I don't understand why g1, g2 & g3 values is not aligned with Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 which is the expected output..

Question

players = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "David", "Eve", "Frank"]

#Create 3 lists with 2 players each
#Use slicing to create a list for Group 1
g1 = players [0:2]

#Use slicing to create a list for Group 2
g2 = players [2:4]

#Use slicing to create a list for Group 3
g3 = players [4:6]

print("Group 1: \n",g1)
#display the 1st group

print("Group 2: \n",g2)
#display the 2nd group

print("Group 3: \n",g3)
#display the 3rd group

Answer 1

Moon ,

the reason for your issue is, that the default separator between 2 arguments in the print() function is a space. so the second line that outputs the list starts with a space.

we can avoid this by:

using 2 separate print statements, each for one line

or:
adding sep='\n' as a keyword argument in the print() function. `sep` defines the separator between the arguments in print function. in this case it is the newline sequence `\n`.

or:
using an f-string inside the print() function like:
f'Group 1:\n{g3}'

Answer 2

Are you sure the output is exactly the same as expected output?
From what I see, it is very close but no t the same.

Answer 3

List slicing returns a new list from the existing list.

Answer 4

Lothar Thank you so much.. I tried using f string it didn't work.. Then I tried separate print statements for each line. It worked..

Answer 5

Moon
Using f-string does work and I tested with that just now.
However, it doesn't work if you put a space between colon : and \n

Answer 6

Wong Hei Ming it looked like the same expected output... My bad
