How to concatenate two functions on the same line?

def headName():
    print (Name[0].upper())
def tailName():
    print (Name[1:].lower())

Name = input("Please enter a name ")
headName()
tailName()

That's my code; I want to know how to concatinate headName() and tailName(), so that they're on the same line. Thanks

You can also try:

def headName():
    print ((Name[0].upper()), end="")

This will cause your print function to end with nothing, instead of ending with a newline (default).

You can also use string formatting, which in case that you wanted to customize further the output would give you more control over the outcome:

def headName():
    return Name[0].upper()
def tailName():
    return Name[1:].lower()

Name = input("Please enter a name ")
print('{}{}'.format(headName(), tailName()))

To print on the same line call them in one print statement, something like:

print(headName(), ' ', tailName())

You can't do that without rewriting the functions. The newline is added by print. Since you call print inside the functions, nothing you do outside the function can undo the newline that was already added inside.

A better idea is to have your functions return the values, and then do the printing outside:

def headName():
    return Name[0].upper()
def tailName():
    return Name[1:].lower()

Name = input("Please enter a name ")
print(headName(), tailName(), sep="")

Incidentally, what you are doing can also be accomplished directly with Name.title().
