How to Add Tab in Python

To add a Tab in Python you can make use of the \t escape sequence.

Let's take a look at a few examples.

Example 1:

print("1\t2\t3")
print("4\t5\t6")
print("7\t8\t9")

Output:

1	2	3

4	5	6

7	8	9

Example 2:

def print_countries_and_capitals(country_capitals):
    print("Country\t\tCapital")
    print("---------------------------------")
    for country, capital in country_capitals.items():
        print(f"{country}\t\t{capital}")

country_capitals = {
    "USA": "Washington, D.C.",
    "UK": "London",
    "Germany": "Berlin",
    "France": "Paris",
    "Canada": "Ottawa",
    "China": "Beijing",
    "India": "New Delhi",
    "Japan": "Tokyo",
    "Brazil": "Brasília",
    "Russia": "Moscow"
}
