What is the difference between "+" and " , " in python. I know that both joins the string but is there anything else?

The reason why , separate strings with whitespaces is because of its parameter "sep" and its value is whitespace by default. print("This", "is", "a", "string") >> This is a string print("This " + "is " + "a " + "string") >> This is a string On the second one (concatenation, +) notice that there is a whitespace at the end of each substring, in order to separate each word when concatenating. Another example using "sep" parameter: print("This", "is", "a", "string", sep="@@") >> This@@is@@a@@string - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Although , is not really concatenating the string, it is just used for "print()" format and arguments, for example you can do this: print("string", 42, True) >> string 42 True So Abhay and get is right about "," does not join string, but "+" does. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Though I prefer f-strings for printing strings (you can even place variables in it) var = "Black" print(f"color is {var}") >> color is Black

", " actually does not works like you think: it is just arguments/elements listing. As I guess, you are talking about "print" function: it prints arguments (in "in print('hello', 'world')" 'hello' and 'world' are two arguments) separated by some specific string (default is " ", but you can set your own to this printing by ", sep = <your separator>" after all the "unnamed arguments") and with some specific string at the end (without separator; default is '\n', but you can set your own to this printing by ", end = <your ending>). That is it. And "+" operator "adds" two objects: adds numbers, concatenates strings, etc. But there is one detail which important (especially for beginners in programming): string concatenation does not add the space before those strings, it just joins them ("hello" + "world" = "helloworld", "hello " + "world" = "hello world"). Hope this helped. P. S.: If you do not understand the first paragraph, just keep learning and you will "meet" functions.
