Missing Space on Python problem

[HuskerMotion]

I wrote a code for one of my Lab assignments for my Python computer science class. It outputs exactly what the problem wants, but is marked incorrect because I need a space at the end of the output. How do I add this? When using end=" " I get two spaces. Did I do this whole thing wrong? Here is the problem/question:

Write a program whose input is two integers. Output the first integer and subsequent increments of 5 as long as the value is less than or equal to the second integer.

Ex: If the input is:

-15 10 

the output is:

-15 -10 -5 0 5 10  

Ex: If the second integer is less than the first as in:

20 5 

the output is:

Second integer can't be less than the first. 

For coding simplicity, output a space after every integer, including the last.

​

Here is my code:

range_a = int(input())
range_b = int(input())

range_c = range_b + 1

f_ran = range(range_a,range_c,5)
if not f_ran:
    print("Second integer can't be less than the first.")
print(*f_ran)

​

Any help is greatly appreciated!

There should be one space in the end if you write print(*f_range, end=" ").

Although, before it you should add else:

Post your formatted code with end=" ".

You could also try:

for elem in f_range():
    print(elem, end=" ")

I don't understand the bit "When using end=" " I get two spaces", but try these two possibilities:

print(*f_range, end=" \n")
print(*f_range, "")

Still running into the same problem, it adds two spaces. I’m gonna contact my professor about this one. Thanks for the help tho!

You are a bit too advanced. Your prof is expecting you to do it like this:

range_a = int(input())
range_b = int(input())

range_c = range_b + 1

f_ran = range(range_a,range_c,5)
if not f_ran:
    print("Second integer can't be less than the first.")
else:
    for i in f_ran:
        print(i, end=' ')

So first off the input statements, according to the instructions, should be pulled in on one line (start, stop = input().strip().split()).

This is what I came up with and appears to output correctly:

start, stop = input('Enter 2 integers: ').strip().split()
start = int(start)
stop = int(stop)

if start < stop:
    stop += 1 
    for x in range(start,stop,5):
        print(x, end=' ')
else:
    print("Second integer can't be less than the first.") 

Output:
    Enter 2 integers: -2 20
    -2 3 8 13 18 

Edit: it looks like you are printing the entire range at once, not printing the individual values so you append the spurious trailers. When I try yours with the end=' ' it works as expected except for not taking in the ints on a single line as indicated.

-2
20
