print("Print each number in the sequence on a different line")
for x in range(10):
print(x)
print("Now, print on the same line with dashes in between")
for x in range(10):
print(x,end='-')
When we run the code, we get this output.

Normally the Python 3 print function prints on a single line (with a newline at the end), but you can change the "end" parameter and substitute your own parameter. I am using a space character in the example below.
# Python 3 code for printing
# Team Treehouse Is Tops!
print("Team", end=" ")
print("Treehouse", end=" ")
print("Is", end=" ")
print("Tops!")
