# print()

Each `print()` command does two things: displays a value to the user AND moves the cursor down to the next line 

However - we can modifiy the end of our print command 

```
print(23)
print(33, end = "-")
print(43)

```

Explain the output that you can see.

```
print("Alicia")
print("Alicia", 9, end ="!  ")
word = "frogs"
print ("Alicia", 9, word, end ="!")
```

**Consider this output from the visualizer**

We are no longing combining strings to create a new string - we are displaying different data types and commands to the user by connecting pieces with a `,`
