title: How does the spacing with '\t' work?
body: <p>I'm trying to understand how the command '\t' work. I've just written the following code</p>
  
  <pre><code>fic4 = open('name.txt','w')
  for k in range(100):
      x = k/100
      y = x**2+3.5
      z = x
      fic4.write(str(x) + '\t' + str(y) + '\t' + str(z) + '\n')
  fic4.close()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and it gives me the following result</p>

  <p>I don't understand why (and how) the spacing varies from one line to another. Can someone explain this phenomenon to me?</p>
