str.join is the one you want. remember that it's a method of the str
class, and it takes an iterable as an argument. Your list is an
iterable. Try invoking the method on different kinds of strings with
your list as argument, and see if you can figure out how it works.
Maybe start like this:

>>> l = ["3", "2", "5", "1", "0"]
>>> a = "string"
>>> a.join(l)
