How to insert a specific string between two words stored in a single variable?

Question

I want to insert a string "and" between two words of a string stored in a variable.

How can I achieve this in Python?

E.g.

Input string or input variable:

location = 'Location-1 Location-2 '

Expected Output:

location = 'Location-1 and Location-2'

But I don’t want to insert "and" if the variable has single value

location = 'Location-1 '

or

location = 'Location-2 '

You can use the string split() and join() methods:

location = 'Location-1 Location-2 '

location = ' and '.join(location.split())

print(repr(location))

Output:

'Location-1 and Location-2'

split() splits a string into a list on a given delimiter, by default a whitespace. Since there is no string after the last whitespace, we also don’t need to use strip(). join() joins a list of strings using the string the method is called on.
