How do I remove a space between an integer variable and a string in Python 3?

def print_scores(name1, score1, name2, score2):
     print("\n--- SCORES\t"+ name1 + ":",score1,"\t" + name2 + ":",score2, "---")


print_scores("Ziggy",18,"Elmer",23)

I am trying to remove the space between score1 and "\t". It does not change the output. But the program checking the work requires that there is no space between them in the code.

Since this is Python 3.7, this would work and will be the easiest way to format:

def print_scores(name1, score1, name2, score2):
     print(f"\n--- SCORES\t{name1}:{score1}\t{name2}:{score2}---")


print_scores("Ziggy", 18, "Elmer", 23)

Try using format, like this:

print('\n--- SCORES\t{}:{}\t{}:{}---'.format(name1, score1, name2, score2))

Now for print_scores("Ziggy",18,"Elmer",23), it prints this:

--- SCORES Ziggy:18 Elmer:23---

This is a problem with the print builtin function. By default it sets a keyword sep = ' ' This can be overridden by the use of:

print(..., sep='')

Hope that helps.
