How can I convert a list into a space-separated string in Python?
For example, I want to convert this list:
my_list = [how,are,you]
Into the string "how are you"
The spaces are important. I don't want to get howareyou
as I have with my attempt so far of using
"".join(my_list)
To convert a list into a space-separated string: Call the join() method on a string that contains a space. Pass the list to the join() method. The method will return a space-separated string.
Without using loops: * symbol is use to print the list elements in a single line with space. To print all elements in new lines or separated by space use sep=”\n” or sep=”, ” respectively.
Per W3 schools: A string is considered a valid identifier if it only contains alphanumeric letters (a-z) and (0-9), or underscores (_). A valid identifier cannot start with a number, or contain any spaces.
The most pythonic way of converting a list to string is by using the join() method. The join() method is used to facilitate this exact purpose. It takes in iterables, joins them, and returns them as a string. However, the values in the iterable should be of string data type.
" ".join(my_list)
You need to join with a space, not an empty string.
