New line being printed as “n” instead of actual new line

I'm trying to print a simple game board.

But instead of a board I get this:

(' | | n', ' | | n', ' | | n')

I want to print it without the parentheses and with new lines instead of n. How can I do this?

Yo. Board is a tuple, that's how it's going to print. You could do print(''.join(board)).

print(''.join(board))

Why did you make a tuple in the first place?

@user2357112 I'm new to programming and don't know what a tuple is. This just made sense to me.

Don't print whole tuple, but it's elements, e.g.:

for i in board: print(i)

You just have to use this line to print:

print(*board,sep="")

Explanation: the operator * is the unpacking operator: the tuple board is then unpacked, and it is like you've done:

board

Because you've put commas on the end of each line in the brackets, you've made a tuple, which is an iterable, like a list. Just replace the commas with a + at the start of the next line

board = ('line 1' + 'n' + 'line 2' + 'n' + 'line 3' + 'n')

This creates a string instead of a tuple.

This is what you're looking for.

The problem was that "n" only works in print statements.
