I’m new and can’t figure out why I can’t print spaces

Question

name = "James"
age = "42"
print ((name + "is")+ (age + "years old"))

The solution(sorry I’m still learning terms) is

Jamesis42years old

I googled spaces and have tried “” and a couple other things but it still won’t run

Thanks

Answer 1

You have to actually put a space inside the quotation marks. E.g. to print a single space use
" "

Answer 2

you could also use formatted strings, in order to print what you are trying to print with spaces, simply type the following:
print (f"{name} is {age} years old")

This allows you to put variables directly into the string, rather than having to format it afterwards or use the "+" operator. simply put a lowercase "f" before your strings in order to integrate variables in this way

Hi Chris!
Someone asked the same thing a few weeks ago. So, I'm sharing this with you to understand the concept clearly

Answer 4

As Simon Sauter pointed out, the most simple way is to use:

print((name + “ is ”) + (age + “ years old”)

Note that I have used spaces inside the quotation marks.

Another way is to use commas to seperate members inside the ‘print’ fuction, and the function will automatically add a space between members.

Try this:

print(“abc”, “def”)

Output:

abc def
