Python | Convert a list of characters into a string
Given a list of characters, merge all of them into a string.
Examples:
Input : ['g', 'e', 'e', 'k', 's', 'f', 'o',
'r', 'g', 'e', 'e', 'k', 's']
Output : geeksforgeeks
Input : ['p', 'r', 'o', 'g', 'r', 'a', 'm',
'm', 'i', 'n', 'g']
Output : programming
Method 1 : Traversal of list
Initialize an empty string at the beginning. Traverse in the list of characters, for every index add character to the initial string. After complete traversal, print the string which has been added with every character.
# Python program to convert a list # of character def convert(s): # initialization of string to "" new = "" # traverse in the string for x in s: new += x # return string return new # driver code s = ['g', 'e', 'e', 'k', 's', 'f', 'o', 'r', 'g', 'e', 'e', 'k', 's'] print(convert(s)) |
Output:
geeksforgeeks
Method 2 : Using join() function
By using join() function in python, all characters in the list can be joined. The syntax is:
str = "" str1 = ( "geeks", "for", "geeks" ) str.join(str1)
The list of characters can be joined easily by initializing str=”” so that there are no spaces in between.
# Python program to convert a list # of character def convert(s): # initialization of string to "" str1 = "" # using join function join the list s by # separating words by str1 return(str1.join(s)) # driver code s = ['g', 'e', 'e', 'k', 's', 'f', 'o', 'r', 'g', 'e', 'e', 'k', 's'] print(convert(s)) |
Output:
geeksforgeeks
