python - How to join two string with a new line between them?

Question

I have two strings like this:

str1 = "my fav fruit apple"
str2 = "my fav vegetable carrot"

I want to join the two strings to become :

"my fav fruit apple
my fav vegetable carrot"

i.e.: become one string with a new line between them. How to do that?

Answer 1

You can use the concatenation operator, +:

str3 = str1 + '
' + str2

Or you can use the join method on your delimiter, ' ':

str3 = '
'.join([str1, str2])

The latter approach works well when you have a bunch of strings in an array.

lines = ['A Story', 'by Me', '', 'An aardvark escaped from the zoo.', '', 'The End']
story = '
'.join(lines)
print(story)
