*Memo for a string and byte string(bytes and bytearray) functions:

• My post explains split().
• My post explains rsplit().
• My post explains splitlines().
• My post explains partition().
• My post explains rpartition().

*Memo for a string and byte string(bytes and bytearray):

• My post explains a string.
• My post explains a byte string.

str.join() and bytes.join() or bytearray.join() can concatenate the zero or more characters and bytes of the string and byte string respectively with the zero or more characters and bytes of each string and byte string respectively of an iterable as shown below:

*Memo:

• The 1st argument is iterable(Required-Type:Iterable(str for str.join() or Bytes-like object for bytes.join() and bytearray.join())):
  • Don't use iterable=.
