I tend to use b as well, but sometimes c while I'm debugging (just
'cause it's easy to write and I'll delete the code as soon as I've
fixed it).  Both a and b will print exactly what you wrote (with an
extra newline at the end).  c will add a space in between each
section.  That is by design, just be aware of it.
