Concatenation Strings

 

What You'll Learn: In this tutorial, you'll discover how to concatenate, or combine, two strings in Python using the + operator. It's like sticking two pieces of text together!

What is String Concatenation?

String concatenation is the process of joining two or more strings end-to-end to form a new string.

Using the + Operator

To concatenate two strings, use the + operator.

Example Code:

python
a = "Hello"
b = "World"
c = a + b
print(c)

What's Happening Here?

  • a is the first string.
  • b is the second string.
  • c is the result of concatenating a and b.

Output: HelloWorld
 

Adding a Space Between Strings

To add a space between the strings, include a space character " " in the concatenation.

Example Code:

python
a = "Hello"
b = "World"
c = a + " " + b
print(c)

Output: Hello World
