How to avoid new line in print function?

In Python the print function automatically takes new line after the statements, if we want to print the whole statement in a single line then what should be used?

For example: 

>>> for number in range(1,6):
...     for k in range (0,number):
...             print ("*")
...

I got the following output:

*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*  
*
*
*
*
*

While I need this one:

Try the following in Python 2.x.x. You could use print "*"*i where i is a number which prints '*' for i number of times.

print "*" * 3

Output

***

All you have to do is to choose the value of i carefully. 

for i in range(0,6): ## i increments through the range(0,6) for every iteration
    print "*"*i      ## "*" is printed 'i' times

Output:

*

Set the end parameter of print to "" and put an extra print() just outside the inner loop:

for number in range(1,6):
    for k in range (0,number):
        print ("*", end="")
    print()  # This is needed to break up the lines.

Below is a demonstration:

>>> for number in range(1,6):
...     for k in range (0,number):
...         print ("*", end="")
...     print()
...

Use a comma after print:

>>> for number in range(1,6):
       ...     for k in range (0,number):
       ...             print ("*"),
       ...     print()
