Effective and Faster String Building in Python

          Many times we use string building in many languages and also in python. Here is a tip for a fast string building in Python.

Commonly Used:

string1 = "Example" + " for "+ " String Building"   #Commonly used by regular developers

The above method of concatenation is not a best practice most of object oriented language will provide methods for such operations like "join" method in Python.


Best Practice:

string1 = "".join("Example"," for","String Building")   #Best practice for faster execution


 Using String Building in Python:

string1 = "%s %s %s" % ("Example","for","String Building") # Another Best Practice and very fast
