What is string concatenation?


Asked by River Richards on Dec 01, 2021 FAQ



In the world of computer programming, string concatenation is the process of binding together multiple data strings using functions or operators. Programmers may concatenate strings to make code more efficient, to make functions more effective, or to help themselves or others conceptualize what is being done in a program.
In fact,
The CONCAT Function in Excel is a text function that is used for combining text in cells. The function was introduced in MS Excel 2016 as a replacement to CONCATENATE function.
Moreover, From a readability standpoint, f-string literals are more aesthetically pleasing and easier to read than string concatenation. Also, as the answer from Daniel points out, f-strings are able to handle inputs of different types while using + requires both objects to be strings (or the overloading of the __add__, and __radd__ methods).
Likewise,
In many programming languages, string concatenation is a binary infix operator. The + (plus) operator is often overloaded to denote concatenation for string arguments: "Hello, " + "World" has the value "Hello, World".
Keeping this in consideration,
Following are the ways to concat strings in Python: Using + (plus) Using += concatenate operator The join () method - For iterators Using StringIO The space between string literals
