Hi everyone, just wondering what exactly is the purpose of the final line within the function - the blank print? It comes right after the for in loop
Thanks

" with no arguments will just cause the output to go to the next line.

Python Development Techdegree Student 2,678 PointsHi Steven, thanks for the help. But why would we write that line then?
