Python - Selective consecutive Suffix Join

When it is required to find the selective consecutive suffix join, a simple iteration, the ‘endswith’ method and the ‘append’ method can be used.

Example

Below is a demonstration of the same

my_list = ["Python-", "fun", "to-", "code"]

print("The list is :")
print(my_list)

suffix = '-'
print("The suffix is :")
print(suffix)

result = []
temp = []
for element in my_list:
   temp.append(element)

   if not element.endswith(suffix):
      result.append(''.join(temp))
      temp = []

print("The result is :")
print(result)

Output

The list is :
['Python-', 'fun', 'to-', 'code']
The suffix is :
-
The result is :
['Python-fun', 'to-code']

Explanation

• A list of strings is defined and is displayed on the console.
• A value for suffux is defined and is displayed on the console.
• Two empty lists are created.
• The list is iterated over, and the elements are appended to the empty list.
• If the element doesn’t end with the specific suffix, it is appended to the empty list using ‘join’ method.
• The other list is again emptied.
• This is displayed as output on the console.
