Printing multiple newlines with Python

Question

I'm trying to separate some outputted text in Python 3. Heres sorta an example of what iv got now

print("words")
print("")
print("")
print("")
print("")
print("")
print("")
 #(Print would keep going on like 50 times)...
print("more words")

now putting all those prints is annoying and i need the words to be vertically seperated. like this

words









more words

Any ideas on how to separate huge verticle distances. Thanks :)

use \n . Ex : print("words \n\n\n\n\n\n") OR in your case print('\n' * 50) — Stack

You could put a newline character "\n" in the string, e.g.

>>> print ("\n\n\n\n")

Characters preceded by a backslash are 'escaped', and are converted to special characters by Python. Some commonly used escape sequences are:

Note that strings can be repeated by multiplying them with a number, e.g.

>>> print ("\n" * 100)

You can construct a string of newline characters, which will result in vertical space, like this:

lines = 5  # Number of blank lines
print("\n" * lines)
