How do you print tabs in python 3?

1. Print Python Tab in File Using the \t in the print() Function
2. Print Python Tab in the List
3. Print Python Tab in the Datapoints
4. Print Python Tab Using the tab Symbol Directly in the print Statement

The '\' backslash in Python strings is a special character, sometimes called the escape character. It is used to represent whitespace characters as '\t' represents a tab.

This article will discuss some methods to print the Python tab.

Print Python Tab in File Using the \t in the print() Function

We can use \t in the print() function to print the tab correctly in Python.

The complete example code is given below.

print("Python\tprogramming")

Output:

Python	Programming

Print Python Tab in the List

This method will insert tabs between different elements of the list.

The complete example code is given below:

Lst = ['Python','Java','C++']
print (str(Lst[0]) + "\t" + str(Lst[1]) + "\t" + str(Lst[2]))

Output:

Python	Java	C++

str will convert the list elements into the string with all values separated by Python tabs.

Print Python Tab in the Datapoints

This method will print tabs in the given statement or some data points.

The complete example code is given below:

Data_Points = "2\t6\t10"
print (Data_Points)

Output:

2	6	10

Print Python Tab Using the tab Symbol Directly in the print Statement

In this method, we will use the escape sequences in the string literals to print tab. The escape sequences could be below types.

The name of the table in the Unicode database is TAB or tab, or TaB because it is not case insensitive.

The other names representing the tab in the Unicode database are HT, CHARACTER TABULATION, and HORIZONTAL TABULATION.

The tab’s Unicode value is 09 for \x, 0009 for \u, and 00000009 for \U.

The complete example code is given below:

print("python\N{TAB}programming")
print("python\N{tab}programming")
print("python\N{TaB}programming")

print("python\N{HT}programming")
print("python\N{CHARACTER TABULATION}programming")
print("python\N{HORIZONTAL TABULATION}programming")

print("python\x09programming")
print("python\u0009programming")
print("python\U00000009programming")

Output:

python	programming
python	programming
python	programming
python	programming
python	programming
python	programming
python	programming
python	programming
python	programming
