display Console output in same line in python

Question

How to iterate through the while loop and display the contents of a list, tuple or any other collection in the same line, separated by commas ensuring that the comma is not displayed at the end?

Example:

def display(a):
    i=0
    while(i<len(a)):
        print(a[i],end=",")
        i+=1

a=(10,20,30)
display(a)

Output should be : 10,20,30 But i get 10,20,30, Please give answers other than the method of using ','.join(map(str(a)) or stripping the space by converting it to a string.

why can't you try - print a.... or can you mention what output you expect to be precise — Arun G, Jul 22 '16 at 06:55

You could print the items and then print the commas.

def display(a):
    i=0
    while(i<(len(a))):
        print(a[i],end="")
        if(i<(len(a)-1)):
            print(",", end="")
        i += 1

a = (10,20,30)
display(a)

Another way could be the following:

def display(a):
    print(*a, sep=",")

a = (10,20,30)
display(a)

Both ways print out: 10,20,30

Thanks for your answer.But i want a solution in which the last element should also be printed while traversing through the loop, not outside the loop – Sasikala Jul 22 '16 at 07:16
You can't use my second suggestion? Your program MUST have a loop in the function? – George Bou Jul 22 '16 at 07:20
yes. it should have a loop – Sasikala Jul 22 '16 at 07:22
no comments on it? – George Bou Jul 22 '16 at 13:55
