String Concatenation in Python?
In Python, string concatenation is the process of combining two or more strings into a single string.
Concatenating strings using addition ('+') operator
In Python, you can concatenate (combine) two or multiple strings using '+'
operator.
In the following example, the string variables first_name
, and last_name
are combined into a single string using '+'
operator. Combined string value is passed to the string variable fullname fullname = first_name + " " +last_name
.
Note: Space (" ") is used to keep space between first_name and last_name.

Concatenating strings using addition & assignment ('+=') operator
In Python, you can concatenate (combine) two or multiple strings using '+='
operator.
In the following example, the string variable my_string
has the string value "Python is "
. We can add more string data to the variable just using the '+='
operator.
my_string += "fun."
is used to add the text "fun." to the existing string value ("Python is ") of the 'my_string' variable.
