Hi, Im new to the community so please correct my first post if needed. Could anyone explain why the result for A occured compared B's result? Visually its obvious but its hard just interpreting it by words. Any help?

A

def main():
   name = input("enter name: ")
   for i in name:
           print(i, end="")
main()

RESULT:

Output:
enter name: francisco
francisco

B

def main():
   name = input("enter name: ")
   for i in name:
           print(name, end="")

main()  

RESULT

Output:
enter name: francisco
franciscofranciscofranciscofranciscofranciscofranciscofranciscofranciscofrancisco

In your first code, for each letter of the name, you print that letter.
In the second code, for each letter of the name, you print the entire name.
