thank you. i intended to put the following in my original code:

Code:

printWithoutNewlines()

but it looks like its not part of what i copied and pasted.

another problem im having is, before and after implementing your suggested change, i have been unable to put the output of the called function into a variable.

My original code:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python2.7
mylist = [ "hello", "you", "are", "so", "cool" ]

def printWithoutNewlines():
    for objects in mylist:
        objects = objects.replace('hello', "hi")
        print objects

functionsOutput = printWithoutNewlines()

when I run the script, even though Im not printing out the output of "functionOutput", i still see the output.

how can i keep the results of the printWithoutNewlines function in the "functionOutput" variable without it being outputted out to the screen?

and how can I do a replacement on the content of the functionOutput variable?

here is what i have tried:

# note that im removed the comma you recommended. i did that on purpose.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python2.7
mylist = [ "hello", "you", "are", "so", "cool" ]

def printWithoutNewlines():
    for objects in mylist:
        objects = objects.replace('hello', "hi")
        print objects

functionsOutput = printWithoutNewlines()
functionsOutput.replace('\n', ' ')

what I'm intending to do with the above code is to run the defined function, then, remove the new lines from the output of the function.

When I run the above code, I get this error:

Code:

hi
you
are
so
cool
Traceback (most recent call last):
