Print command python

i'm new in the python world and i have small issue. im trying to run this action for example:

print ('Hello World')

print('1','2')

But i'm getting this output:

Hello World

('1','2')

Why the second row is not showing properly?

I'm using a mac laptop with python version 2.7

Thanks for the help.

You're trying to use the Python 3 print() function, not the Python 2 print command. However, you're trying to use this function in Python 2. Use from __future__ import print_function to get this behavior in Python 2.

See also __future__ and PEP 3105.

Because () is used for grouping, it does not have an effect in the execution level but it makes your code look prettier:

 if ( 1 > 2 > 3):

is totally samw with 

if 1 > 2 > 3:

Most important part is, (1) is not a tuple with a single element. Those parenthesis are evaluated as grouper, and have no effect in execution so it is totally same with 1. On the other hand, (1,) is a tuple and , after the first element implies that.

So 

print ("Hello World")
print "Hello World"

are totally the same thing. But ('1','2') is a tuple so print statement prints it.

print ('Hello World') prints the string Hello World

print ('1','2') prints the tuple ('1','2').
