Using + is arguably preferable when you have a choice to make, since it

I'll argue differently: even though + works with string literals as well
as variables, you shouldn't use it.
I am trying to understand the point behind using the '+' character when
trying to concatenate strings. I am new to learning Python and going through
the book Python Programming for Absolute Beginners 3rd ed. and do not
understand the point or reason for concatenating strings. The reason I do

here is a simple usage of where concatenating strings prints out a simple
string as a counter in a loop.
for i in range(5):
... print(str(i) + ' in for loop')
...
0 in for loop

Juxtaposing strings only works with constants, which may be convenient
in some cases, but it won't work at all when concatenating
