I want to remove the whitespace at the end of 'Joe'
name = 'Joe'
print(name, ', you won!')
>>>Joe , you won!
I tried the rstrip method, but it didn't work
name='Joe'
name=name.rstrip()
print(name, ', you won!')
>>>Joe , you won!
My only solution was to concatenate the string
name='Joe'
name=name+','
print(name,'you won!')
>>>Joe, you won!
What am I missing?
The print() function adds whitespace between the arguments, there is nothing to strip there.
Use sep='' to stop the function from doing that:
print(name, ', you won!', sep='')
or you can use string formatting to create one string to pass to print():
print('{}, you won!'.format(name))
The white space is being added by print because you're passing it two parameters and this is how it works.
Try this:
print(name, ', you won!', sep='')
Another way would be doing some string formatting like:
print('%s, you won!' % (name)) # another way of formatting.
I like to concatenate the strings to avoid unwanted spaces:
print(name + ', you won.')
