Python String Join() Methods


Show

Description

The join() method in Python String returns a string where the string elements of the sequence are joined by a str separator. Thus, it is a method that returns a string that is concatenated within the elements of an iterable. The join() method in Python string thus provides a flexible path to concatenate the string. It concatenates every element of the iterable (like as list, string as well as a tuple) to the string and further returns the concatenated string.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for join() method:

str.join(sequence)

Parameters

  • sequence - It is the sequence of the elements that are to be joined.

Return Value

Example

The example below shows the usage of join() method.

#!/usr/bin/python

s = "-";
seq = ("a", "b", "c"); # This is sequence of strings.
print s.join( seq )

When the above program is run, it produces the following result:

a-b-c
