New submission from Srikanth : In section 3.1.2 of the python documentation, its mentioned as below: Two or more string literals (i.e. the ones enclosed between quotes) next to each other are automatically concatenated. This feature is particularly useful when you want to break long strings: This only works with two literals though, not with variables or expressions: However, the concatination operation works on variables and expressions also. Please find the below python code snippet and the output: Python Code: ------------- s1='Hello' s2=' World ' s3=' How are you ? ' print(s1, s2, "\n", s3, "\n") print('---------------------------') print('Long time ' 'No see mate ') print("Hope ", 'All is ' "good") print('---------------------------') print(s1, 'World'," !!") print((s1+s2+s3)*2," there ?") Output: -------- Hello World How are you ? --------------------------- Long time No see mate Hope All is good --------------------------- Hello World !! Hello World How are you ? Hello World How are you ? there ? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: Python_Docs_3.1.2_String_Concatination.py messages: 347754 nosy: Deshpande, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python Documentation on strings ( section 3.1.2.) type: resource usage Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file48474/Python_Docs_3.1.2_String_Concatination.py _______________________________________ Python tracker https://bugs.python.org/issue37575 _______________________________________
