>>> a = "abcd"
>>> b = "xyz"
>>> c = a + b
>>> c
abcdxyz

How can I get abcd xyz as a result instead when adding a and b?

Simply just add a space between the two strings:

a = "abcd" 
b = "xyz" 
c = a + " " + b  # note the extra space concatenated with the other two
print c

this will give you

abcd xyz

You can use a function such as .join(), but for something so short, that would seem almost counter-intuitive (and IMO "overkill"). I.e., first create a list with the two strings, then call a function with that list and use the return of that function in a print statement ... when you can just concatenate the needed space with the 2 strings. Seems semantically more clear too.

Based on: "Simple is better than complex." (The Zen of Python "import this")

You can use join to concatenate your strings together with your selected delimiter.

a = "abcd"
b = "xyz"
c = " ".join([a, b])

Since Python 3.6, you can use f-strings to join two strings with ease. The code is more succinct and the variables are referenced directly within the context of the string.

a = 'hello'
b = 'world'
c = f'{a} {b}'

print(c)

The above code would output the following:

hello world

The .join() function is still the way to go when you have many strings or where the number of strings may vary.

Python supports the string formatting operations and a template system (the latter is technically a simple but powerful class) as part of the string module. While the plus operator does its work, the lack of string formatting can influence a lot the readability of the code. A basic example for string formatting:

c = '%s %s' % (a, b)

How do you concatenate a space in a string in Python?
