i have a function "avg" defined in Python (version 3.7.7) like this:

def avg(x,y):
    print("firts input is", x)
    print("second input is", y)
    a = (x + y) / 2.0
    print("average is", a)
    return a

avg(3,4)

and it gives me the following output on my console:

('firts input is', 3) ('second input is', 4) ('average is', 3.5)

Why is Python printing the Parantheses and the "," ? When I just type:

print("Hello World!")

i dont get the Parantheses ...

are you sure you are using python 3? this is a common error in python 2.7 – Oct 06 '20 at 15:54
You could try using + sign to join string and variable. – Yeshwin Verma Oct 06 '20 at 15:55
I'm not sure to be honest... – chrizzla Oct 06 '20 at 15:55

You are using Python 2. – khelwood Oct 06 '20 at 15:55
When i type python --version i get version 2.7. But when I type python3 --version i get 3.7.7 – chrizzla Oct 06 '20 at 15:56
Then run your code using python3. – deceze Oct 06 '20 at 15:56
@chrizzla and how do you run the script? `python script.py`? Then it'll use Python 2. – Random Davis Oct 06 '20 at 15:57
