pause and print same line

[smoore]

Hey all. this is my first day python programming (been programming java for almost a year tho) and I was trying to put together the classic "shout" method. so far it is like this:

import time

def shout(string):
    for c in string:
        print("Gimme a " + c)
        print(c + "!")
        time.sleep(1)
    print("\nWhat's that spell... " + string + "!")
    
shout("COUGARS")

Basically you can see what it does... Spells out the word in cheerleader fashion. Anyway the thing I was wondering is if I could get the program to pause for a second in between the "What does that spell..." and the string. so it would go like this:

What does that spell... <one second pause> COUGARS!

Any help? Seems trivial but I haven't been able to figure it out :confused:

def shout(string):
    for c in string:
        print("Gimme a " + c)
        print(c + "!")
        time.sleep(1)
    print("\nWhat's that spell... ")
    time.sleep(1)
    print(" COUGARS!")
    
shout("COUGARS")

Yeah that would work, except the last "COUGARS" would be on a seperate line, if you wanted it to stay on the same line as
"What does it spell..." then you need to use some arguments like:

print("What does it spell...", end = " ")

This makes the ending of the line a space rather then the default newline, therefore next time you go and use the print function to print the "COUGARS" you would have it all on one line.

I also vaguely remember that we can use a comma...is it like this:

.
.

    print("\nWhat's that spell... "),
    time.sleep(1)
    print(" COUGARS!")
    
shout("COUGARS")
