I am trying to print this line and the string is set:
print('Hello',name,'!','You were born in', age_new)
and I keep getting:
Hello Amanda ! You were born in 2005
How do I get the exclamation point left one space?

2See https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#print. Or use any of the various ways to build a string rather than passing separate arguments to print. – jonrsharpe May 21 '21 at 19:59

1Really do follow the duplicate links up top -- the answers you have now (as they were first added; things have improved slightly within the 5-minute edit window) are not modern best practice; the answers on the older copies of the question are better (as one would expect, since those copies have had more time to collect in-depth answers, for those answers to be commented on/edited/refined, etc). – Charles Duffy May 21 '21 at 20:01

When using print('text','text2') you will automatically receive a space. So instead you can use old fashion + for concatinate.
name,age_new = 'bob',45
print('Hello',name+'!','You were born in', age_new)
But I highly highly suggest you move away from + and , and use f-strings. They are easy and efficient.
name,age_new = 'bob',45
print(f'Hello {name}! You were born in {age_new}')

Upvoted for f-strings. Unless there's already a convention for other formatted printing elsewhere in your codebase, they're *so* much more readable than the other ways to do this in Python. – AmphotericLewisAcid May 21 '21 at 20:29
