join in Python

Buy Me a Coffee☕

*Memo:

• My post explains string, bytes and bytearray functions.

str.join() and bytes.join() or bytearray.join() can concatenate the zero or more characters and bytes of the string and bytes or bytearray with the zero or more characters and bytes of each string and bytes or bytearray of an iterable respectively 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=.

<String>:

v = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']

print(''.join(v))
# onetwothreefour

print(' '.join(v))
# one two three four

print('  '.join(v))
# one  two  three  four

print('-'.join(v))
# one-two-three-four

print(' - '.join(v))
# one - two - three - four

print('<->'.join(v))
# one<->two<->three<->four

v = ['', '', '', '']

print(''.join(v))
print(' '.join(v))
print('  '.join(v))
# Nothing

print('-'.join(v))
# ---

print(' - '.join(v))
#  -  -  - 

print('<->'.join(v))
# <-><-><->

v = []

print('-'.join(v))
# Nothing

v = [0, 12, 345, 6789]

print(''.join(map(str, v)))
print(''.join([str(num) for num in v]))
# 0123456789
