print "Welcome,", name,"!"
gives
Welcome, Hrvoje !
why is there whitespace, and how do i get rid of it (alternative?)?
the space between the space in ', name' doesn't seem to do anything, since there is no space in 'name,"!"', but one appears when executed.

(by the way, maybe you can quickly answer this too)
a = 2
b = 3
print a/b
how do i get it to print only two extra decimals (if it were 10/3 i'd want it to print 3.33). (in this case 0.66)

That's just the way the print function works. If you want to get rid of it you can concatenate all the strings using the + operator before printing them e.g.

print "Welcome," + name + "!"

a = 2
b = 3
print a/b

First of all, keep in mind that the / operator acts differently on integers than on floating point numbers. Integer division drops (truncates) any remainder. So 2/2 = 1 but 3/2 = 1 also. 2/3 = 0.

how do i get it to print only two extra decimals (if it were 10/3 i'd want it to print 3.33). (in this case 0.66)

Were you doing floating point division, you could use formatting statements to do this. See:
