Removing Space between variable and string in Python

Question

My code looks like this:

name = Joe
print "Hello", name, "!"

My output looks like:

Hello Joe !

How do I remove the space between Joe and !?

Answer 1

a comma after print will add a blank space.

What you need to do is concatenate the string you want to print; this can be done like this:

name = 'Joe'
print 'Hello ' +  name + '!'

Joe must be put between quotes to define it as a string.

Answer 2

>>> print (name)
Joe
>>> print('Hello ', name, '!')
Hello  Joe !
>>> print('Hello ', name, '!', sep='')
Hello Joe!

Answer 3

You can also use printf style formatting:

>>> name = 'Joe'
>>> print 'Hello %s !' % name
Hello Joe !

Answer 4

One other solution would be to use the following:

Print 'Hello {} !'.format(name.trim())

This removes all the leading and trailing spaces and special character.
