How to add space between two strings in python

>>> item1="eggs"
>>> item2="sandwich"

>>> print(item1+item2)

>>> Output: eggssandwich

My main goal is to put a space between eggs and sandwich.

But i'm unsure on how to. Any help would be appreciated

Use .join():

print(" ".join([item1, item2]))

The default for print, however, is to put a space between arguments, so you could also do:

print(item1, item2)

Another way would be to use string formatting:

print("{} {}".format(item1, item2))

Or the old way:

print("%s %s" % (item1, item2))

Simply!

'{} {}'.format(item1, item2)  # the most prefereable

or

'%s %s' % (item1, item2)

or if it is just print

print(item1, item2)

for dynamic count of elements you can use join(like in another answer in the tread).

Also you can read how to make really flexible formatting using format language from the first variant in official documentation: https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#custom-string-formatting

Update: since f-strings were introduced in Python 3.6, it is also possible to use them:

f'{item1} {item2}'

Just add the space!

print(item1 + ' ' + item2)

# works every time
print(item1, item2)

# Only works if items 1 & 2 are strings.
print(item1 + " " + item2)

Here are three easy solutions to add a space.

Add a space in between, but as noted above this only works if both items are strings.

print("eggs" + " " + "sandwich")

Another simple solution would be to add a space to end of eggs or beginning of sandwich.

print("eggs " + "sandwich")

print("eggs" + " sandwich")

These will all return the same result.

>>> item1="eggs"
>>> item2="sandwich"

>>> print(f"{item1} {item2}")
