How do I delete space between loop output using python?

Question

def print_numbers2():
    for a in range(1,6):
        c = 5-a
        print("." * c , str(a) *a)

My output is

.... 1
... 22
.. 333
. 4444
55555

But output I was expecting to get was without space between dot(.) and number. There is space between dots and numbers.

How can i fix this problem?

Replace the ',' with a '+' in the print statement. That will concatenate the two strings directly together (as they are both strings, this doesn't work if that are not) without a space. — David Buck

just set sep to an empty string:

def print_numbers2():
    for a in range(1,6):
        c = 5-a
        print("." * c , str(a) *a, sep='')

Try this :

def print_numbers2():
    for a in range(1,6):
        c = 5-a
        print("." * c +  str(a) *a)

Output :

>>> print_numbers2()
....1
...22
..333
.4444
55555

You need to join the output as a string in stead printing side by side as two different string.

Try this -

def print_numbers2():
    for a in range(1,6):
        c = 5-a
        print("."*c,str(a)*a,sep='')

print_numbers2()
....1
...22
..333
.4444
55555

It works for me.

Many methods already provided.

One more using fstrings :

def print_numbers2():
    for a in range(1, 6):
        c = 5-a
        print(f"{'.' * c}{str(a) * a}")

All you have to do is replace comma with a plus sign in your print statement. Like this,

print("." * c + str(a) *a)
