[python] Python String and Integer concatenation

I want to create string using integer appended to it, in a for loop. Like this:

for i in range(1,11):
  string="string"+i

But it returns an error:

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'

What's the best way to concatenate the String and Integer?

for i in range(11):
    string = "string{0}".format(i)

What you did (range[1,10]) is

• a TypeError since brackets denote an index (a[3]) or a slice (a[3:5]) of a list,
• a SyntaxError since [1,10] is invalid, and
• a double off-by-one error since range(1,10) is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], and you seem to want [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

And string = "string" + i is a TypeError since you can't add an integer to a string (unlike JavaScript).

Look at the documentation for Python's new string formatting method, it is very powerful.

for i in range (1,10):
    string="string"+str(i)

To get string0, string1 ..... string10, you could do like

>>> ["string"+str(i) for i in range(11)]
['string0', 'string1', 'string2', 'string3', 'string4', 'string5', 'string6', 'string7', 'string8', 'string9', 'string10']

for i in range[1,10]: 
  string = "string" + str(i)

The str(i) function converts the integer into a string.

I did something else. I wanted to replace a word, in lists off lists, that contained phrases. I wanted to replace that sttring / word with a new word that will be a join between string and number, and that number / digit will indicate the position of the phrase / sublist / lists of lists.

That is, I replaced a string with a string and an incremental number that follow it.

    myoldlist_1=[[' myoldword'],[''],['tttt myoldword'],['jjjj ddmyoldwordd']]
        No_ofposition=[]
        mynewlist_2=[]
        for i in xrange(0,4,1):
            mynewlist_2.append([x.replace('myoldword', "%s" % i+"_mynewword") for x in myoldlist_1[i]])
            if len(mynewlist_2[i])>0:
                No_ofposition.append(i)
mynewlist_2
No_ofposition

string = 'string%d' % (i,)

If we want output like 'string0123456789' then we can use map function and join method of string.

>>> 'string'+"".join(map(str,xrange(10)))
'string0123456789'

If we want List of string values then use list comprehension method.

>>> ['string'+i for i in map(str,xrange(10))]
['string0', 'string1', 'string2', 'string3', 'string4', 'string5', 'string6', 'string7', 'string8', 'string9']

Note:

Use xrange() for Python 2.x

USe range() for Python 3.x

Concatenation of a string and integer is simple: just use

abhishek+str(2)

You can use a generator to do this !

def sequence_generator(limit):  
    """ A generator to create strings of pattern -> string1,string2..stringN """
    inc  = 0
    while inc < limit:
        yield 'string'+str(inc)
        inc += 1

# to generate a generator. notice i have used () instead of []
a_generator  =  (s for s in sequence_generator(10))

# to generate a list
a_list  =  [s for s in sequence_generator(10)]

# to generate a string
a_string =  '['+", ".join(s for s in sequence_generator(10))+']'
