in python to output something to the screen use what .......function. Print() and input() are wrong answers.

Hi,

print() should be the correct for outputting to the screen. input() is used for capturing user input

Not sure I exactly understand your question but am assuming you are asking: "in beginning python what function do I use to have output to the screen, if the print() function is not used"

print() should work for any object that has a str method.

Assuming you do not wish to use the print() function, in the interpreter itself, it will return values once you enter a valid statement (e.g. a = 1+2 Enter. a Enter will print 3 to the screen without using the print() function)

The other thing you might be looking at that 'prints' to the screen without using print() is dir(object) or type(object), these will print to the screen, the methods in the object, however it won't print the VALUE of any specific attribute.

don't forget to use quotes on a string inside print

print("hello world")
