Python formatting for table

April 28, 2023

I am trying to print something to look like this

   0  1  2  3  
   ------------
 0|A  A  A  A  
 1|A  A  A  A  
 2|A  A  A  A  
 3|A  A  A  A

and this is my code for it:

def pretty_print (board):
  for i in range(-2,len(board)):
    if (i==-2):
        print ("   ",end= "")
        for k in range(len (board[1])):
            print(f"{k:<3}", end ="")
    if i==-1:
        print ("\n  ","-"*(len(board[i])*3))
    if (i>-1):
        print(f"\n{i:>2.0f}|", end= "")
        for j in range (len(board[i])):
            print (board[i][j],end ="  ")
print()
print()

pretty_print([[‘A’]*4]*4)

but for some reason I am getting a line space between the line with the ‘—–‘ characters and the actual table. How do I get rid of that line?

>Solution :

Hmmm… I just added end="" in line 8, and it worked for me:

def pretty_print (board):
  for i in range(-2,len(board)):
    if (i==-2):
        print ("   ",end= "")
        for k in range(len (board[1])):
            print(f"{k:<3}", end ="")
    if i==-1:
        print ("\n  ","-"*(len(board[i])*3), end="")
    if (i>-1):
        print(f"\n{i:>2.0f}|", end="")
        for j in range (len(board[i])):
            print (board[i][j],end ="  ")
print()
print()
pretty_print([['A']*4]*4)
