# How to Display Data on the Screen in Python
The `print()` function displays the data inside the parentheses `( )` on the screen, just like the English word "print."
<br />
## How to Use It?
Simply enter the data you want to display inside the parentheses!
```python title="Using the print() Function"
print("Python") # Displays the string "Python"
print(123) # Displays the number 123
message = "CodeFriends" # Assigns "CodeFriends" to the variable message
print(message) # Displays the value stored in the variable message
Displaying Multiple Data at Once
You can display multiple items simultaneously using the print function and separating them with commas (,).
Each item separated by a comma is automatically distinguished by a whitespace.
Displaying Multiple Data
name = "CodeFriends"
age = 20
print(name, "is", age, "years old")
# Displays "CodeFriends is 20 years old"
Coding Practice
Enter print(4 / 2) in the practice code editor.
"print(4 / 2)" outputs the result of dividing 4 by 2. In Python, division is done using a forward slash (/), and the result is returned as a floating-point number.
Therefore, the result of 4 / 2 is the floating-point number 2.0 rather than the integer 2.
