since the loop is not doing this, the effect is to finish the line of the loop,
not and extra line.
if you change it to print some text you will see this (at the end of the loop print on same line)
Ah, I think I see the problem. the last print is not related to the loop, so it's processed as an error if you enter it in the ... at the end of the loop statement. But in a script, it's perceived as a new statement.
this seems to be the case, not specific to print
