Lists are a great data structure but they’re not always useful, for example when writing a database or if you’re building a URL from a series of values in a list, you may prefer a <class ‘str’>.
Let’s take the later instance in this example.
list1 = ['www','example','com'] string = '.'.join(list1)
Breaking it down is very simple, in calling a join function on a variable, the list (between brackets) is joined together with the delimiter specified within the quotes.
Try changing the above to a space, comma, dash to see how the results change!
