There are no stupid questions. Only stupid answers.

I think either will be accepted since it wasn't specified if ml print statement will print a newline at the end or not. I think logically it would make more sense if ml did print a new line. In other words, if your output doesn't match the tests the marker (should) check to see the output, if the output is correct and it's only a formatting issue you shouldn't lose marks.
