1.) If you want to skip a line, just add a blank print statement or print out a newline (/n) character
2.) Font size isn't an option, unless you want to do ASCII art
3.) User input is literally input(), and it returns a string that you can store in a variable.

so um regarding font size is there a way I could change that or must I do acscii art and also hoe does input work inside the delprint thing

@zhaq6129 You cannot change font size at all, which is intentional as to keep backwards compatibility with older terminals.

Also, you don't want to delprint an input, that's not physically possible.

@SixBeeps oh because the slow print thing i found says to write delprint

@zhaq6129 well yeah delprint is slowprint, but you asked for input + slowprint

@SixBeeps yeh so how do you do that

@zhaq6129 How 'bout this: link me the thing that's telling you to slowprint an input and we can work from there

@SixBeeps nvm, but um how do i make the rest of everything slowprint

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT so um i get this error:

@zhaq6129 oh i see what you mean now. you can slowprint the question with no ending character, then call input with no parameters. something like this:

slowprint("what is name?", end='')
name = input()

@zhaq6129 don't rename slowprint to print, that's gonna cause problems.

@SixBeeps oh

@SixBeeps now i get this

@zhaq6129 Instead of calling with multiple arguments, just concatenate the two strings together

@SixBeeps english please, i just started python a couple minutes ago (sorry if i sound rude)

@zhaq6129 print() is special in that it allows you to pass in multiple arguments, e.x. print("thing1", "thing2")
This doesn't work for much of anything else, though. To fix this, you should do what's called concatenation, or joining two strings together. So, you need sprint("thing1" + "thing2") instead of sprint("thing1", "thing2")

@SixBeeps cool but:

ok so fixed but it wont let me type in my name it will just automatically say none

also how do I make an if then else statement

@zhaq6129 then is actually not a keyword in Python, so it's just if/else. You can read about conditionals here: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_conditions.asp

Solution

use \n or print(). Like this.

print('something')
print()
print('something else')

print('something\n')
print('something else')

like that.
That should work

@SixBeeps is right. Use \n to skip a line. EX: print("hello\n you skipped a line") If you want user input you would do something like this: name = input("Enter your name:") The output of this would be Enter your name: (you should up a space after : ). If you want to print this user input you would do something like, print("Hello " name) You may need to put a comma but you will find that out. Have a nice day!
