How do you join a list with a space in python?

So in order to achieve a desired output, we should first know how the function works.

The syntax for join[] method as described in the python documentation is as follows:

string_name.join[iterable]

Things to be noted:

• It returns a string concatenated with the elements of iterable. The separator between the elements being the string_name.
• Any non-string value in the iterable will raise a TypeError

Now, to add white spaces, we just need to replace the string_name with a " " or a ' ' both of them will work and place the iterable that we want to concatenate.

So, our function will look something like this:

' '.join[my_list]

But, what if we want to add a particular number of white spaces in between our elements in the iterable ?

We need to add this:

str[number*" "].join[iterable]

here, the number will be a user input.

So, for example if number=4.

Then, the output of str[4*" "].join[my_list] will be how are you, so in between every word there are 4 white spaces.

You can use a translate[] method to Convert the Python list into a space-separated list. Another method is using a join[] function.

One more way is to apply the list as separate arguments: – print[*L]

Note: translate[] method not work for Python 3 and above versions.

Ways Python Convert List to space-separated String

• string translate[]
• join[] function
• print[*list_name]

Let’s see How to print a space-separated list in Python

1. string translate[]

This method does not work for Python 3 and above versions. So we can do a test it’s an example.

2. join[] function

The Joint[] method returns a string in which the elements of the sequence have been joined by an str separator.

lst = ['EyeHunts', 'Python', 'Tutorial']
strlist = ' '.join[lst]
print[strlist]

Output: EyeHunts Python Tutorial

3. print[*list_name]

This is the easiest method until you need the joined string for something else. Otherwise, use str.join[].

print[] take care of converting each element to a string. You can control the separator by setting the sep keyword argument:

list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print[*list1]

list2 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
print[*list2]

Output:

1 2 3 4 5
a b c d e

Q: How to Python print list elements on one line?

Answer: Just use * before the list in the print method.

print[*list]

This will print the list separated by spaces.

Or if you want comma-separated then use this code:-

a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print[*a, sep = ',']

You get this output: 1,2,3,4,5
