Introduction to Printing Numbers
Unlock Audio Lesson
Today, we will discuss how to use the print() function to show numbers on the screen. Can someone tell me what you might want to print in a program?
We could print the results of calculations.
Exactly! Let's demonstrate that with an example. If I type `print(10)`, what do you think is the output?
It should output 10.
Correct! Now, how about printing a calculation, for instance, `print(5 + 3)`?
That would display 8.
Exactly! You're catching on very well. Remember, this process helps visualize the output of our calculations.
Using Expressions in print()
Unlock Audio Lesson
Now that we've established how to print numbers, let’s explore printing expressions. What do you think happens when we perform an expression inside the print function?
It evaluates the expression and prints out the result.
That's right! Let’s test that. What would you expect from `print(10 * 2)`?
It will print 20 since that's the result of multiplying 10 and 2.
Well done! It's important to use print() effectively to convey results clearly. Let's recap this: printing expressions allows for immediate feedback on calculations.
Clarifying Output with Numbers
Unlock Audio Lesson
So far, we have seen how print() outputs numbers and expressions. Let’s clarify! If I wrote `print(7)` and then `print(10 + 5)`, what outputs would we get?
The first one would be 7 and the second would output 15.
Exactly! And it's important to remember that each call to print() will start on a new line unless you specify otherwise. Why is that useful?
Because it helps us read the output more clearly!
Absolutely! Clear output is essential for debugging and making the program user-friendly. Great job today!
Introduction & Overview
Read a summary of the section's main ideas. Choose from Basic, Medium, or Detailed.
Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, students will learn to utilize the print() function to output numbers and evaluate arithmetic expressions. The examples illustrate how to display results directly in Python, outlining the significance of output in programming.
Detailed
Detailed Summary
The print() function in Python is fundamental for displaying output to the user. This section emphasizes the function's ability to print numerical values and the results of arithmetic expressions, vital for both debugging and user interaction in programming.
Key Points:
- You can display individual numbers and the results of arithmetic calculations.
- Use the print function effectively to visualize the output on the screen.
Examples:
- Printing a single number:
Output: 10
- Printing the result of an expression:
Output: 8
Through understanding these capabilities, programmers can effectively communicate computations and outputs to users, thus enhancing their software usability.

You can use print() to display numbers and even solve arithmetic expressions directly.
Example:
print(10)
Output:
10
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we learn how to use the print() function in Python to display numbers on the screen. When you type print(10), the number 10 is sent to the output, and you see '10' displayed. This is a fundamental aspect of programming, as it allows you to show values and results to the user.
Examples & Analogies
Think of print() like showing a number on a scoreboard in a game. When a player scores a point, that number is updated and displayed. In coding, print() updates the display with whatever number you want to show.
Performing Arithmetic Calculations

Example:
print(5 + 3)
Output:
8
Detailed Explanation
This chunk introduces the ability to perform calculations using the print() function. Instead of just displaying static numbers, you can perform operations like addition right within the print statement. For example, print(5 + 3) computes the sum of 5 and 3, which equals 8, and then prints that result.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you're at a checkout counter, and the cashier quickly adds up your purchases. Using print() to display calculations is similar to how calculators show you the final amount you need to pay after adding different items together.
