Question

Python newbie question

How to concatenate strings in python like

Section = 'C_type'

Concatenate it with 'Sec_' to form the string :

Sec_C_type

Answer 1

The easiest way would be

Section = 'Sec_' + Section

Answer 3

Use + for string concatenation as:

section = 'C_type'
new_section = 'Sec_' + section

Answer 4

you can also do this:

section = "C_type"
new_section = "Sec_%s" % section

This allows you not only append, but also insert wherever in the string:

section = "C_type"
new_section = "Sec_%s_blah" % section
