So in order to achieve a desired output  we should first know how the function works   The syntax for join   method as described in the python documentation is as follows   string name join iterable   Things to be noted    It returns a string concatenated with the elements of iterable  The separator between the elements being the string name   Any non-string value in the iterable will raise a TypeError   Now  to add white spaces  we just need to replace the string name with a     or a     both of them will work and place the iterable that we want to concatenate   So  our function will look something like this       join my list    But  what if we want to add a particular number of white spaces in between our elements in the iterable    We need to add this   str number      join iterable    here  the number will be a user input   So  for example if number 4   Then  the output of str 4      join my list  will be how    are    you  so in between every word there are 4 white spaces

join my list    you need to join with a space not an empty string

I ll throw this in as an alternative just for the heck of it  even though it s pretty much useless when compared to     join my list  for strings  For non-strings  such as an array of ints  this may be better       join str item  for item in my list

For Non String list we can do like this as well      join map str  my list
