Python - Joining only adjacent words in list

In this article, we are going to learn how to join adjacent words in a list, not digits. Follow the below steps to solve the problem.

• Initialize the list.
• Find the words that are not digits using isalpha method.
• 4Join the words using join method.
• Add all the digits at the end by finding them using the isdigit method.
• Print the result.

Example

 Live Demo

# initialzing the list
strings = ['Tutorials', '56', '45', 'point', '1', '4']

# result
result = []

words = [element for element in strings if element.isalpha()]
digits = [element for element in strings if element.isdigit()]

# adding the elements to result
result.append("".join(words))
result += digits

# printing the result
print(result)

If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.

Output

['Tutorialspoint', '56', '45', '1', '4']

Let's see the code that uses a different way to solve the problem. We will use the filter method to filter the words and digits.

Example

# initialzing the list
strings = ['Tutorials', '56', '45', 'point', '1', '4']

def isalpha(string):
   return string.isalpha()

def isdigit(string):
   return string.isdigit()

# result
result = ["".join(filter(isalpha, strings)), *filter(isdigit, strings)]


# printing the result
print(result)
['Tutorialspoint', '56', '45', '1', '4']

If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.

Output

['Tutorialspoint', '56', '45', '1', '4']
