print(name.rstrip())
print(name.strip())
print("\tname")
print("\nname")

it gives an error on this print("\tname")
print("\nname")

sorry i can´t find box parentice

What error is it giving you? Or is it just not printing what you expected? Perhaps you meant:

print('\t', name)

or

print(f'\t{name}')

it print name istead of john
JOHN
JOHN
JOHN
name

name

so it ses name as a string i think and not as a variable

Right. Things in quotes are strings, not variable names. You need to take them out of the quotes (my first example) or use a special string syntax so that they are recognized as variables (my second example).
