Join
Finally, we are going to take a look at how we can take a list of strings and joining them together in a single string. To start, here is the list that we will try to put back together with a space in between each word:
['Hello','world,','lets','take','this','list','and','make','it','into','a','string']
To join this, we will use the .join() method with a space.
word_list = ['Hello','world,','lets','take','this',
'list','and','make','it','into','a','string']
#Join with a space
string = ' '.join(word_list)
print(string)
This command goes through each word in the list and concatenates them together using a space. This code section prints:
"Hello world, lets take this list and make it into a string"
As well, we could join the words using any character (or no characters). For example, to join every word with a hyphen in between them the following code would be used:
word_list = ['Hello','world,','lets','take','this',
'list','and','make','it','into','a','string']
#Join with a hyphen
string = '-'.join(word_list)
print(string)
This gives us the string "Hello-world,-lets-take-this-list-and-make-it-into-a-string"
And finally to join with no character:
word_list = ['Hello','world,','lets','take','this',
'list','and','make','it','into','a','string']
#Join with no character
string = ''.join(word_list)
print(string)
Which gives us: "Helloworld,letstakethislistandmakeitintoastring"
