How to add spaces when Concatenating strings

Question

I am trying to get this output: 2014-07-26 02:12:18: Houston Texas

When I try to do the assignment using:

current_time = '2014-07-26 02:12:18:'
my_city = 'Houston'
my_state = 'Texas'
log_entry = current_time + my_city +  my_state
print(log_entry)

I am getting this output: 2014-07-26 02:12:18:HoustonTexas

How do I get the spaces between the :, Houston, and Texas

You could do `log_entry = " ".join([current_time, my_city, my_state])` — Dani Mesejo, Sep 16 '19 at 18:35
Use string formatting: `f"{current_time} {my_city} {my_state}"` — Daniel, Sep 16 '19 at 18:41

Work them in as string literals in your concatenation:

current_time = '2014-07-26 02:12:18:'
my_city = 'Houston'
my_state = 'Texas'
log_entry = current_time + ' ' + my_city + ' ' + my_state
print(log_entry)

You can just add them explicitly thing + " " + otherthing. Or you could use the " ".join method above if you know how to get your variables into a list.
