Is there a way to just use the print function once and keep the formatting without having to use print for each new line?

print("I like\ngreen eggs\nand ham")
will print
I like
green eggs
and ham

multi_line = """I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to think better.
Without practice, my brain would probably not even work.
My code is getting more beautiful every single day!
"""
print (multi_line);
Sometimes, you had want variables to be printed as part of your multi-line string. This is possible with a little extra work using the .format() method.
verb = 'think';
noun = 'brain';
adj = 'beautiful';
multi_line = """I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to {VERB} better.
Without practice, my {NOUN} would probably not even work.
My code is getting more {ADJECTIVE} every single day!
""".format(VERB=verb, NOUN=noun,ADJECTIVE=adj);
print (multi_line);

6,773 PointsHi, I wrote print("I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to", verb, "better. Without practice, my", noun, "would probably not even work. My code is getting more", adj, "every single day!") which printed I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to run better. Without practice, my nun would probably not even work. My c ode is getting more black every single day!

6,773 Pointsoh sorry, I think I missed that you still wanted the text on multiple lines, and my code was in one line, my previous comment might be not relevant

1,698 Pointsyes there is a way that used in my practice solution below
verb = input("Tell us one verb about what area does practice help you: ") noun = input("tell us one noun about what would be affected if you did not practice: ") adjective =input("Okay tell us one adjective about what your code is doing because of practice: " )
print(" I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to {} better.\n Without practice, my {} would not even work.\n My code is getting more {} every single day !".format(verb, noun,adjective))

223 Pointsyou could put the whole response in one print function as follows.
verb = input("Give me a verb.")
noun = input("Give me a noun.")
adjective = input("Give me an adjective.")
print("I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to, verb, better.", "\n", "Without practice, my", noun, "would not even work.", "\n", "My code is getting more", adjective, "every single day!")
