I understand that the below code results in SyntaxError:
x = 1 2
print(x)
But, I am not able to understand why below code is not throwing same synatax error:
x = "DataScience" "4U"
print(x) #DataScience4U
>Solution :
In Python, when you place two string literals directly adjacent to each other without any operator or separator, they are automatically concatenated into a single string. This feature is called "string concatenation."
In your second code example:
x = "DataScience" "4U"
print(x)
The two string literals "DataScience" and "4U" are placed side by side. Python treats them as a single string, concatenating them together to form "DataScience4U". The resulting string is then assigned to the variable x.
When you print the value of x, it will output the concatenated string "DataScience4U".
This behavior is specific to string literals and doesn’t apply to other types of values. In the case of the first code example where you have x = 1 2, the syntax error occurs because the Python interpreter doesn’t know how to interpret the consecutive numeric literals 1 and 2 without an operator or separator between them.
