Python | Add one string to another

The concatenation of two strings has been discussed multiple times in various languages. But the task is to append one string to another in Python.

Example

Input: 'GFG' + 'is best'                     
Output: 'GFG is best' 
Explanation: Here we can add two string using "+" operator in Python

Append a String in Python

Strings in Python are immutable, which means they cannot be directly modified. However, you can use several techniques to achieve the effect of appending to a string. Knowledge of performing this task has many applications. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this can be performed.

Concatenate Strings in Python

This operator can be used to perform this particular task of concatenating the string or character. This is quite simpler than the traditional methods that are employed in other languages, like using a dedicated function to perform this particular task. 

Output

GFG is best
GFG is best!

Join a list of Strings into one String

One can also perform this very task of the concatenation of strings or characters using the Python join function. The advantage this method holds over the above method is when we have many strings to concatenate rather than just two. 

Output:

The concatenated string is : GFG is best
GFG is best!

f-String to Insert Characters

In this example, we are adding a string to another string or character using the Python f-string.

Output:

The concatenated string is : GFG is best
GFG is best!

Add Character using the __add__ Method

In this example, we are adding a string to another string or character using the Python __add__ method.

Output:

The concatenated string is : GeeksforLazyroar is best
GeeksforLazyroar is best!

Python add Character to String using format() 

In this example, we are adding a string or character to another string using the Python format() function.

Output:

The concatenated string is : GeeksforLazyroar is best
GeeksforLazyroar is best!

Python add Character to String using a List Comprehension

The code concatenates two strings or characters, “test_string” and “add_string”, using a list comprehension and the join() function. The resulting concatenated string is stored in the variable res and then printed as output.

Output

The concatenated string is: GeeksforLazyroar is best
GeeksforLazyroar is best!
