One another *g*
print " ".join(str(x) for x in range(10))
print "Goodbye World!"
Which has the "benefit" of not printing a space after the 9.
explanations:
str(x) converts the integers to strings.
str(x) for x in range(10) is basically a generator that
generates "0", "1", ..., "9"
" ".join(expr) joins the strings given by expr by " ".
It's basically a very useful idiom when you need to generate
seperators without outputing the seperator at the end.
In other languages, you often have a loop like this:
for elem in list:
print elem
if is_not_last_element:
print seperator
That is most often best solved in Python by using the " ".join(values) idiom.
