The join() method in Python is a string method used to concatenate elements from an iterable (such as a list or a tuple) into a single string. It takes the iterable as an argument and returns a new string where the elements of the iterable are joined together by the string on which the join() method is called.
Syntax:
string_to_join.join(iterable)How to use the join() method:
my_list = ['Hello', 'world', '!', 'I', 'am', 'Python']
joined_string = ' '.join(my_list)
print(joined_string)Output:
Hello world ! I am PythonExample 1
