To call a function (this process is known as function invocation or function call), you need to use the function name followed by parentheses.
print(“Hello,”, “world!”). An “empty” print() function outputs an empty line to the screen.
“I am a string” (double quotes), or ‘I am a string, too’ (single quotes).
Python strings are delimited with quotes

dictated by their position, e.g., the second argument is outputted after the first, the third is outputted after the second, etc.
positional arguments

arguments are the ones whose meaning is not dictated by their location, but by a special word (keyword) used to identify them.

keyword argument parameters can be used for formatting the output of the print() function
end()
sep()
Keyword argument 3 elements
keyword (id of argument) == end equal sign = value
must be place after the LAST positional argument

something about print
is that hair gel
a print() function invoked with more than one argument outputs them all on one line;
the print() function puts a space between the outputted arguments on its own initiative.
keyword argument that separates its outputed arguments with spaces
sep
written as sep=”-“
print(“My”, “name”, “is”, “Monty”, “Python.”, sep=”-“)
My-name-is-Monty-Python.
Both the end and sep keyword arguments can be
mixed in one invocation
Keyword arguments are the ones whose meaning is not dictated by their location, but by a special word (keyword) used to identify them.
The end and sep parameters can be used for formatting the output of the print() function. The sep parameter specifies the separator between the outputted arguments, e.g., print(“H”, “E”, “L”, “L”, “O”, sep=”-“), whereas the end parameter specifies what to print at the end of the print statement.
