Python cannot count apparently

[Schachner, Joseph]

This code works:
    mystr = "hello"
    for ch in mystr:
        print(ch, end="")

result is: hello

Note that the for loop does not use range.  Strings are iterable, that is they support Python's iteration protocol.  So, for ch in mystr: assigns one character from mystr to ch each time, each iteration gets the next character.  
To prevent each character from appearing on a separate line (in Python 3) you need end="".   That is, don't put in the usual end-of-line ending.

Strange. When I fix the errors in what you posted:
- wrong character to start the string
- wrong variable name in the call to print()

I get[1]:


... myString="hello"
... for i in range(len(myString)):
...   print( myString[i] )
...
h
e
l
l
o
...

You must have done something to suppress the newlines after each call to print().

So it's quite obvious that the code you posted has very little to do with the code you ran. If you really want us to help, please directly copy and paste the exact code that you ran. We can't really help you with only guesses as to what you did.
