print('')
# Print the result of dividing 4 by 2 as a float

a = 10                    # Assign integer 10 to variable a
b = 5                     # Assign integer 5 to variable b
print("a - b :", a - b)   # Print a - b
print("a / b :", a / b)   # Print the result of a divided by b


# Separator line
print('=' * 40)


# Conditional statement example
number = 5

if number > 0:
    print("+++")
else:
    print("---")

# Printing Output in Python

The `print()` function displays the data inside the parentheses `( )` on the screen, just like the English word "print."

<br />

## How to Use It?

Simply enter the data you want to display inside the parentheses!

```python title="Using the print() Function"
print("Python")          # Displays the string "Python"

print(123)              # Displays the number 123

message = "CodeFriends"   # Assigns "CodeFriends" to the variable message
print(message)          # Displays the value stored in the variable message
```

<br />

## Displaying Multiple Data at Once

You can display multiple items simultaneously using the print function and separating them with `commas (,)`.

Each item separated by a comma is automatically distinguished by a **whitespace**.

```python title="Displaying Multiple Data"
name = "CodeFriends"
age = 20

print(name, "is", age, "years old")
# Displays "CodeFriends is 20 years old"
```

<br />

## Coding Practice

Enter `print(4 / 2)` in the practice code editor.

"print(4 / 2)" outputs the result of dividing 4 by 2. In Python, division is done using a forward slash `(/)`, and the result is returned as a floating-point number.

Therefore, the result of `4 / 2` is the floating-point number `2.0` rather than the integer `2`.
