[Tutor] Using 'join ' function to create a string






Hi there,

I would like to know what is the best way to create a string object from 
two different lists using 'join' function. For example, I have X = ['a', 
'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'] and Y = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. From X and Y, I want to 
create a string Z = 'a:1, b:2, c:3, d:4, e:5'.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
