print function in python

print function is used to print a value, sentence and variable etc.
Let's look at some of the examples.

print('Hello')
print('This is the statement that has to be printed')
output: Hello
        This is the statement that has to be printed

var1 = 10     #initializing a variable
print(var1)   #displaying the value stored in car1

var2 = 'M'    #initializing a variable
print(var2)   #displaying the value stored in var2

var3 = True   #initializing a variable
print(var3)   #displaying the value stored in var3
output: 10 
        M 
        True

Other important operations using print function

Print a variable and it’s value together.

blog = 'codicious.com'
print('the name of the blog is', blog)
output: the name of the blog is codicious.com
var1 = 10
var2 = 20
sum = var1 + var2
print('the sum', var1, '+', var2, 'is', sum) 
output: the sum 10 + 20 is 30

print function using format command

blog = 'codicious.com'
print(f'the blog name is {blog}')

output: the blog name is codicious.com
Format command is used in print function, where in the key 'f' which is denoted as format and is used before the quotes. With the help of format command we can use the variable names directly within the flower brackets.

var2 = 10
var4 = 20 
sum = var2 + var4
print(f"the sum {var2} + {var4} is {sum}")
output: The sum  10 + 20 is 30

Initializing variables and storing values in python

First let us know what is a value and variable?
A variable is something that stores specific value in it.
Now let's look into some basic examples how it works.
variable1 = 10 #line 1
variable2 = 3500 #line2
From the above example, 
value is 10, variable name is variable1. Value 10 is stored in variable1.
In the same way variable2 stores a value of 3500.

The name of a variable can be anything but starts with characters or _.
The code below is a simple way of initializing variables.
a1 = 10
_a = 10
The variable name cannot be started with numbers, special characters and blank spaces. The code gives syntax error as shown below.
