Data Presentation Styles - Python Programming Exercise

In this exercise, you will develop a Python program to prompt the user for a number and display it four times in a row, separated by spaces, and then four times in the next row without any spaces. You will complete this task twice: first using print() and then using string formatting. This exercise helps you practice handling user input, using print statements, and exploring string formatting in Python. By completing this exercise, you will strengthen your understanding of Python syntax and become more comfortable with displaying user input in different formats. It will also introduce you to different ways of formatting output, such as using print() and string formatting methods. These skills are essential for creating dynamic Python programs that respond to user input and present information clearly and effectively.

Data Presentation Styles

 Objective

Develop a Python program to prompt the user for a number and display it four times in a row, separated by spaces, and then four times in the next row without any spaces. You must do it twice: first using print() and then using string formatting.

Example:
Enter a number: 3
3 3 3 3
3333
3 3 3 3
3333

 Example Python Exercise

 Copy Python Code 
# Prompt the user to enter a number
num = input("Enter a number: ")

# Display the number four times in a row, separated by spaces, using print()
print(num, num, num, num)

# Display the number four times in a row, without spaces, using print()
print(num * 4)

# Display the number four times in a row, separated by spaces, using string formatting
print(f"{num} {num} {num} {num}")

# Display the number four times in a row, without spaces, using string formatting
print(f"{num * 4}")

 Output

Enter a number: 3
3 3 3 3
3333
3 3 3 3
3333
