Thanks for the replays all your responses makes perfect sense looking at it that way. I agree the example in the book explained it simply, just made no sense as to why and how it is really used. What ya'll have explained to me makes sense and thank you. I can see the importance of it now.

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 not understand is when experimenting to understand what was being taught I wrote: print("\nThis string" "may not" "seem terr" "ibly impressive") then wrote: print("\nThis string" + "may not" + "seem terr" + "ibly impressive") and the both printed the same output..so why would I want to use '+' to add strings if there seems to be no reason too? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
