Task

Write multiple if statements:

• If car_year is 1969 or earlier, print "Few safety features."
• If 1970 or later, print "Probably has seat belts."
• If 1990 or later, print "Probably has antilock brakes."
• If 2000 or later, print "Probably has airbags."

End each phrase with a period and a newline.

Sample output

For input: 1995

Probably has seat belts.
Probably has antilock brakes.

Code

car_year = int(input())

if car_year <=1969:
    message='Few safety features'
    print(message '.''\n')
if car_year >=1970:
    message1='Probably has seat belts'
    print(message1 '.''\n')
if car_year >=1990:
    message2='Probably has antilock brakes'
    print(message2 '.''\n')
if car_year >=2000:
    message3='Probably has airbags'
    print(message3 '.''\n')

Problem

This is what I was getting originally:

• two new-lines after the sentence (2nd highlighted in the image)

After trying a few solutions I keep getting this:

• a space after the sentence (highlighted in the image)

Sorry for the terrible explanation. I'm new to coding and don't know how to explain exactly what I'm thinking.

CodePudding user response：

You are adding a newline (\n) to the string, but print automatically adds a single newline after the string, so you get two newlines in total. Just remove the \ns to get a single newline (the one automatically added by print).

CodePudding user response：

You can use the end attribute of the print function for this

car_year = int(input())

if car_year <=1969:
    message='Few safety features'
    print(message '.', end=" ")
if car_year >=1970:
    message1='Probably has seat belts'
    print(message1 '.', end="")
if car_year >=1990:
    message2='Probably has antilock brakes'
    print(message2 '.', end=" ")
if car_year >=2000:
    message3='Probably has airbags'
    print(message3 '.', end=" ")
