python - How to have something print only once? -

i'm unsure why it's taking answer, , instead of continuing onto next question, repeats once more before doing so?

also, after second question (there's two), shows them both in parentheses still? please me, thank you. ^_^

here's code way:

print (raw_input('what date of birth?'))  y = raw_input('what date of birth?') print ('your date of birth ' + y) print (raw_input('what last name? ')) x = raw_input('what last name?') print ('your last name ' + x) print ('your date of birth ' + y, 'your last name ' +x) 

i'm using python 2.5.4.

raw_input() itself prints prompt. also printing return value of raw_input() call. repeat raw_input() function call again.

remove print(raw_input(..)) lines; redundant:

y = raw_input('what date of birth?') print 'your date of birth ' + y x = raw_input('what last name?') print 'your last name ' + x 

next, in python 2, print not function, statement. treating 1 however, python sees (.., ...) part (with comma) producing tuple. remove parentheses:

print 'your date of birth ' + y, 'your last name ' + x 

now whole line part of print statement separate arguments it, printing 2 string results space in between.
