I was helping a fellow in this website right here and then I noticed something very peculiar and quite specific, it is a very simple question but quite hard to explain, I will do my best to explain the problem.
I was doing this:
for i in range(100):
print('h')
everything is fine, it will print out the letter 'h' 100 times very fast, and every time in a NEW LINE.
Then I was doing this: I want to print the letter 'h' slowly so I add time.sleep() inside the for loop
import time
for i in range(100):
print('h')
time.sleep(0.001)
And you know what, it works just fine! it is printing it slowly, every time in a NEW LINE
But I wanted it to print the letter 'h' in the same line without space between each 'h' like this: hhhhhh so I've changed the print from this:
print('h')
to this:
print('h', end = '') in order to print the 'h' without a new line
and now when I am compiling the code with the new print:
import time
for i in range(100):
print('h', end = '')
time.sleep(0.001)
I can't see it printing the 'h' one by one, I can see all the 'h' letters only after the for loop has ended.
My question is:
- Does anybody know why it happens?
- why when I add
end = ''to the print() it all the sudden acts differently. - Is this has anything to do with threads?
