Common Student Questions

What if I wanted to start the months on a new line?

You simply start the string with \n like this:

"\nJan\nFeb\nMar\nApr\nMay\nJun\nJul\nAug"

Why do the \n newlines not work when I use %r?

That’s how %r formatting works; it prints it the way you wrote it (or close to it). It’s the “raw” format for debugging.

Why do I get an error when I put spaces between the three double-quotes? You have to type them like """ and not " " ", meaning with no spaces between each one.

Is it bad that my errors are always spelling mistakes?

Most programming errors in the beginning (and even later) are simple spelling mistakes, typos, or getting simple things out of order.
