Python - Concatenating a String With a Variable
 
Code:
listOfStrings = [ "Hello"
                  "World"
                  "Where"
                  "have"
                  "you"
                  "been"]
                                                 
for i in range(len(listOfStrings)):
    print(listOfStrings[i].upper() + "\n")
My output:
Code:
HELLOWORLDWHEREHAVEYOUBEEN
Can someone please tell me why the newline isn't being output?

Thank you for your help.

Because Python, like C, automatically concatentates strings that are separated only by whitespace.

For a list of strings, you need commas.

Code:
["a", "b", "c"]

dugan,
Thank you! If I'm not mistaken, the book I'm working through advised me that they needed to be separated by commas. Should have been blatantly obvious. Actually, I guess it was to you. To me? Not so much.

Also, the range / len / indexing isn't needed

Code:
listOfStrings = [ "Hello",
                  "World",                 
                  "Where",
                  "have",
                  "you",
                  "been"]
Code:
for i in range(len(listOfStrings)):
    print(listOfStrings[i].upper() + "\n")
Code:
for i in listOfStrings:
  print(i.upper() + '\n')

Code:
print "\n".join(listOfStrings).upper()
