Python Reference

Quick Reference

The Python string join() method takes all items in an iterable and joins them into one string. A string must also be specified as the separator.

myTuple = ("Johnny", "Daddy", "Doggie")
x = ", ".join(myTuple)

print(x)

Note

Python string methods return new values, and DO NOT change the original string.

Output

Johnny, Daddy, Doggie

Syntax

string.join(iterable)

Parameters

ParameterDescription
iterableAny iterable object where all the returned values are strings (required)

Python Notes:

  • The most recent major version of Python is Python 3; however, Python 2 is still in use and quite popular, although not being updated with anything other than security updates
  • Python uses new lines to complete a command, as opposed to other programming languages which often use semicolons or parentheses
  • Python relies on indentation, using whitespace to define scope, such as the scope of loops, functions, and classes; other programming languages often use curly-brackets for this purpose
  • Python string methods return new values, and DO NOT change the original string

We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.
