   # return string
   return str_
# main
s = ['Tutorials', 'Point']

Using Built-In join() method

Example

def listToString(s):
   # initialize an empty string
   str_ = ""
   # return string
   return (str_.join(s))
# main
s = ['Tutorials', 'Point']
print(listToString(s))

Output

Using List Comprehension

Example

def listToString(s):
   # initialize an empty string
   str_=''.join([str(elem) for elem in s])
   # return string
   return str_
# main
s = ['Tutorials', 'Point']
print(listToString(s))

Output

Tutorialspoint

Using Built-In map() & join() method

Example

 Live Demo

def listToString(s):
   # initialize an empty string
   str_=''.join(map(str, s))
   # return string
   return str_
# main
s = ['Tutorials', 'Point']
print(listToString(s))

Output

Tutorialspoint
