Answer for Why does my print get erased?

Hi Maria, 

Thanks for reaching out! 

In Python the \ is an escape character, which can be used with other characters which have special meaning in Python. For instance, 

\’ or \” produce inverted single or double commas. Here is a link to the Python’s documentation, where all the variations are listed.
https://docs.python.org/2.0/ref/strings.html

The issue is because of the \five\ and n\fish. \f is a page-breaking character, which is used in printing. It forces the printer to eject the current page and start printing at the top of a new one. In Spyder this is what’s causing a new line in your console.

If you type \\five\ and n\ fish(add a space between n\ and fish) instead you should be able to see your print.

 

Best, 

Eli
