One space is added in the beginning of input string

I am trying to print a line by taking the user input. But there is an empty space before the user input is printed:

Code:

UserInput = input('Enter a string: ')
print("\nEntered string is:\n", UserInput)

Output:

Enter a string: I need this, but not this

Entered string is:
 I need this, but not this

Ideally the output should have been: Enter a string: I need this, but not this

Entered string is:
I need this, but not this

Please can someone let me know??

Solution

  • The comma is causing an extra space before the user input string. Replace the comma in the print statement with + sign.

    UserInput = input('Enter a string: ')
print("\nEntered string is:\n" + UserInput)

    Output:

    Enter a string: I need this, but not this

Entered string is:
I need this, but not this
