Hi Eric, Thanks for the information..since i m new to Python so didnt knew about this fact...thanks again for it, will keep it in mind while writing such a program. Amit On Dec 10, 2007 8:57 PM, Eric Brunson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Amit, > > This is fairly ineffici

Re: [Tutor] Noob question

Hi Amit, This is fairly inefficient. Because strings in python are immutable this approach causes a new string to be created every iteration. While it may not be an issue with just 3 strings, it is much better to create your list and use "".join() to create the concatenation after the list

Hi there, I am a newbie trying to actively learn python. My question is, Suppose I have a list a=["apple","orange","banana"] How do I convert this list into a string which is b="appleorangebanana" Sorry for my ignorance, but I have been trying a "for" loop and trying the inbuilt str.join() metho
