Writing multiple lines in Python - Mini Project: Build & Apply

Writing Multiple Lines in Python

📖 Scenario: Imagine you want to write a short note with multiple lines to share with a friend. You will learn how to create and print multiple lines of text in Python.

🎯 Goal: You will build a small program that stores a three-line message and prints it exactly as written, with each line on its own line.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a variable called message that holds three lines of text exactly as given.

Use triple quotes to write the multiple lines inside message.

Create a variable called separator that holds a string of three dashes ---.

Print the message variable.

Print the separator variable.

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Writing multi-line text is useful for creating messages, letters, or formatted output in programs.

💼 Career

Understanding how to handle multi-line strings helps in many programming tasks like generating reports, emails, or documentation.

1

Create the multi-line message

Create a variable called message that holds the following three lines exactly using triple quotes:
Hello, friend!
Welcome to learning Python.
Let's write multiple lines.

Python

# Create the variable message with the three lines using triple quotes
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use triple single quotes ''' or triple double quotes """ to write multiple lines inside one string.

2

Add a separator line

Create a variable called separator and set it to the string --- (three dashes).

Python

message = '''Hello, friend!
Welcome to learning Python.
Let's write multiple lines.'''
# Create the variable separator with three dashes
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Just assign the string '---' to the variable separator.

3

Print the message

Use print(message) to display the multi-line message stored in the variable message.

Python

message = '''Hello, friend!
Welcome to learning Python.
Let's write multiple lines.'''
separator = '---'
# Print the message variable
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use the print function with the variable message inside the parentheses.

4

Print the separator

Use print(separator) to display the separator line stored in the variable separator.

Python

message = '''Hello, friend!
Welcome to learning Python.
Let's write multiple lines.'''
separator = '---'
print(message)
# Print the separator variable
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use the print function with the variable separator to show the dashes after the message.
