String Concatenation in Python
Let's dive into concatenation. This process simply joins two strings together. In Python, you can concatenate two strings using the +
operator, much like you'd add numbers.
Note
Concatenation won't automatically insert spaces between the strings you're joining.
For instance, you can combine words with an article:
# Article and word article = "The" country = "Netherlands" # Output result of the concatenations print(article + country) print(article + " " + country) # Add blank space between
Note
Keep in mind, you can only concatenate strings with other strings. In other words, you can't directly concatenate a word like
'word'
with a number such as1
. To achieve this, first convert the number to a string using thestr(1)
function, and then concatenate.
Everything was clear?
