How to build String from List in Python

Python supports unstring from a string (also called slicing). In addition to that, you can convert a list into a String. The list is one of the data types. Here is How to create a list in the Python best example.

A list can have a group of data. That can be numbers, words, or letters. Here the idea is you can create a string by concatenating them all together.

How to convert a list into a string in 3 steps

In three steps, you can build a string from a list. Here are the detailed steps.

• Create list with heterogeneous data
• Use For loop
• Build the string and print the output

1.Create list with heterogeneous data

List with values.

list_of_values = [1.0, 'this is a test', 2, 'c', 'hello 
world']

It has data of decimals, numbers, and words. Our aim is here to create a string by concatenating all.

2. Use for loop

Here is for loop. Firstly, we print all the list values. Below is the logic for that.

list_of_values = [1.0, 'this is a test', 2, 'c', 'hello world']
for v in list_of_values:
  print(v)

Output

1.0 
this is a test 
2 
c 
hello world 


** Process exited - Return Code: 0 ** 
Press Enter to exit terminal

What happened in the output? It displayed all the list values.

3. Build the string and print the output

You can build a string in two ways. One is with for loop, and print. The other one is using join and print.

a. For loop and Print method

list_of_values = [1.0, 'this is a test', 2, 'c', 'hello world']
for v in list_of_values:
  print(v, end=' ')  # Space included in end as separator
  

Output

1.0 this is a test 2 c hello world 

** Process exited - Return Code: 0 ** 
Press Enter to exit terminal

b. Join and print method

Using join method and print, you can build a string.

list_of_values = [1.0, 'this is a test', 2, 'c', 'hello world']
s = ' '.join([str(i) for i in list_of_values])
print(s)

Output

1.0 this is a test 2 c hello world 


** Process exited - Return Code: 0 ** 
Press Enter to exit terminal
