Python Program to Convert List To String

Write a Python program to convert a list to a string. In this programming language, we can use the join method to join or convert the list to a string.

strlist = ["Kiwi", "USA", "UK", "India", "Japan"]

str1 = ' '
str1 = str1.join(strlist)
print(str1)

Convert list to string using list comprehension.

strlist = ["Learn", "Programming", "From", "Tutorial", "Gateway"]

str1 = ' '.join([str(word) for word in strlist])
print(str1)

Convert list to string using join and map function. 

strlist = ["Learn", "From", "Tutorial", "Gateway"]

str1 = ' '.join(map(str, strlist))
print(str1)

In this example, the for loop iterates the items and adds them to empty str. 

def listToString(strlist):
    str1 = ''

    for word in strlist:
        str1 = str1 + word + ' ' 

    return str1
        
strlist = ["Py", "Programs", "From", "Tutorial", "Gateway"]

print(listToString(strlist))

In this Python example, we have shown all the possibilities for converting a list to a string. 

def listToString(strlist):
    str1 = ''

    for word in strlist:
        str1 = str1 + word + ' ' 

    return str1

strlist = ["Learn", "Program", "From", "Tutorial", "Gateway"]

str1 = ' '
str1 = str1.join(strlist)
print("join method output        = ", str1)

str2 = ' '.join([str(word) for word in strlist])
print("List Comprehension output = ", str2)

str3 = ' '.join(map(str, strlist))
print("map output                = ", str3)

print("Custom Function output    = ", listToString(strlist))
