How to concatenate strings in Python
Educative Answers TeamIn Python, you can concatenate two different strings together and also the same string to itself multiple times using + and the * operator respectively.
Use the + operator
The + operator can be used to concatenate two different strings.
The following illustration shows how it is done:
1 of 3
str1="Hello"
str2="World"
print ("String 1:",str1)
print ("String 2:",str2)
str=str1+str2
print("Concatenated two different strings:",str)Use the * operator
Appending the same string to a string can be done using the * operator, as follows:
str=str * x
- Where x is the number of times string
stris appended to itself.
The following illustration shows how it is done:
1 of 3
str1="Hello"
print ("String 1:",str1)
str1=str1*3
print("Concatenated same string:",str1)Note: When concatenating a variable of non-string type with a string, you first need to cast that variable into a string.
