In the Dungeon game under 'Python Collections: Building the game part 2' you have used print(___, end=' ')

I couldn't completely comprehend the explanation for its usage. Could you expand on it a little more?

I could not find that exact statement in the video.

But in general, the first argument to print is what will be printed. In the video this seemed to be either a literal string enclosed in quotes, or a string variable with a .format method to fill in a placeholder in the string.

the end=' ' supplied as a second argument tells the print to not add anything at the end. Normally it would add a line-end sequence so the next print would go on a lower line. But by specifying the end to be blank, the contents of the next print will go on the same line as this one.
