Python: How do I remove the + at the end?

Question

When I type a number, for example, 3, I want the output to be 1+2+3, not 1+2+3+, how do I fix that?

number = int(input("Please enter a number: "))
for i in range(1, number + 1):
    print(i, end="+")

One easy way is to use join instead of repeated print statements.

print('+'.join(str(i) for i in range(1, number + 1)))

Or using map instead of for:

print('+'.join(map(str, range(1, number + 1))))

Yep, just as [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/52820342/6045800) from the duplicate already suggests.... – Tomerikoo Jun 07 '21 at 15:37

Try something like this:

number = int(input("Please enter a number: "))
for i in range(1, number + 1):
    if i == number:
        print(i)
    else:
        print(i, end="+")

Why not just iterate until one number less instead of checking a condition on ***every*** iteration? – Tomerikoo Jun 07 '21 at 15:40
Well it has been kinda lot of time I haven't touched Python so I did the first thing that passed in my mind. – Thebannedone Jun 07 '21 at 16:10
