confusion on print function

[volcano]

1	print("Hello");

prints "Hello"

but

1	print("Hello",3);

prints ('Hello',3)

what happens when we use two arguments like above in print function ? why it prints ('Hello',3)?

In python 2, print is a statement, not a function.

In your first code, you're passing ("Hello") to it, which is the same as "Hello" (just in parentheses).
In the second code, you're passing ("Hello", 3) to it, which is a tuple.

Also, the ; is unnecessary and ugly.

I'm using python 3.4. What is print in Python 3.4 ? statement or function ?

In the second code, you're passing ("Hello", 3) to it, which is a tuple.

when you say passing ..it reminds me of passing arguments in a function. I see this as print function is taking two arguments here "Hello' and "3"

In all python 3 versions is print a function.

why it prints ('Hello',3)?

Because you use Python 2.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

# Python 2.7 >>> print("Hello", 3) ('Hello', 3)   # Python 3.6 >>> print('hello', 3) hello 3

You should use Python 3.6.
