Convert List, Strings and Tuples

1. Introduction


It is very easy to convert lists, strings and tuples in Python. In this tutorial I will show you how you can do this.

2. List to String


First we have a look how easy it is to convert a list to a string

myIntegerList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
myStringList = ["One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"]
myMixedList = ["One", 2, "Three", 4, "Five"]

# List to String. Works if all items are strings
print("".join(myStringList))
print(" ".join(myStringList))

# does not work
#print("".join(myIntegerList))
#print("".join(myMixedList))

The output is

OneTwoThreeFourFive
One Two Three Four Five

3 Tuple to string


Now we want to convert tuples to strings.

myTuple = [('Vanilla',), ('Sugar',), ('Garlic',)]
print(", ".join(map(lambda x: x[0], myTuple)))

The output is

Vanilla, Sugar, Garlic

That was easy, wasn’t it?
