How do I append one string to another in Python?

Appending one string to another in Python is a common task, and luckily, Python makes it really straightforward. If you’re wondering how to do it, here are some simple ways and tips to effectively combine strings:

Using the + Operator:

 The easiest and most intuitive way is to use the + operator. For example:

str1 = "Hello"

str2 = "World"

result = str1 + " " + str2  # Output: "Hello World"

 This simply concatenates the two strings together.

Using the += Operator:

 You can also append a string to an existing one using +=. This modifies the original string variable by adding the new string:

greeting = "Hello"

greeting += " World"  # Now greeting is "Hello World"

Using the join() Method:

 If you want to append multiple strings from a list or iterable, using join() is efficient:

words = ["Hello", "World"]

sentence = " ".join(words)  # Output: "Hello World"

Using f-strings (Python 3.6+):

 For a neat and readable way to combine strings with variables, f-strings are great:

str1 = "Hello"

str2 = "World"

result = f"{str1} {str2}"  # Output: "Hello World"

Things to keep in mind:

• Strings in Python are immutable, so every time you append using + or +=, a new string is created. For small operations, this is fine, but for large-scale concatenations, consider using join() for better performance.
  
• Choose the method that best suits your needs for readability and efficiency.
