how to add a space before a line in python

I want to print 2 space before every line of my code's output.
My code:

n = int(input())
for row in range(1, n+1):
    for column in range(1, n+1):
        print(column, end='   ')
    print('')


input:

5

My output:

1   2   3   4   5
1   2   3   4   5
1   2   3   4   5
1   2   3   4   5
1   2   3   4   5

The output I want:

  1   2   3   4   5
  1   2   3   4   5
  1   2   3   4   5
  1   2   3   4   5
  1   2   3   4   5

Try this:

n = int(input())
for row in range(1, n+1):
    for column in range(1, n+1):
        print('  ',column, end=' ') # we print some whitespace in front of every character and at the end.
    print('')

This code prints 2 spaces before and 1 space after, like the output that you want.

You can use the join method for strings:

n = int(input())
for row in range(1, n+1):
    print( "  " + "  ".join([str(x) for x in range(1, n+1)]) )

You can achieve this by putting the whitespace in before the column value:

n = int(input())
for row in range(1, n+1):
    for column in range(1, n+1):
        print('    ', column, end='')
    print()

This also removes the extra whitespace that your existing solution puts on the end of each line (though if you wanted that back, simple add more space to the 2nd print - i.e. print(' '))
