Python Join() function can easily convert a list to string

Python provides a magical join() method that takes a sequence and converts it to a string. The list can contain any of the following object types.

Strings

Characters

Numbers.

Python Join() Syntax

			
					string_token.join( iterable )

Parameters:
iterable => It could be a list of strings, characters, and numbers
string_token => It is also a string such as space'' or comma "," etcetera

The above method joins all the elements present in the iterable separated by the string_token.

python convert list to string

Example 1

			
					listOfMonths = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"]

we'll join all the strings in the above list, considering space as a separator

			
					def converttostr(input_seq, seperator):
   final_str = seperator.join(input_seq)
   return final_str

# List of month names
listOfMonths = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"]

# List of month names separated with a space
seperator = ' '
print("OutPut1: ", converttostr(listOfmonths, seperator))

# List of month names separated with a comma
seperator = ', '
print("OutPut2: ", converttostr(listOfmonths, seperator))

The output is as follows:

			
					OutPut1:  Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
OutPut2:  Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec

list of chars into a string

Example 2

We can also convert a list of characters to a string.

			
					chars = ["h", "e", "l", "l", "o", "w", "o", "r", "l", "d"]

final = "".join(chars)

print(chars)
print(final)
