Grammatical List Join in Python [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try this, it takes into consideration the edge cases and uses format(), to show another possible solution:

def my_join(lst):
    if not lst:
        return ""
    elif len(lst) == 1:
        return str(lst[0])
    return "{} and {}".format(", ".join(lst[:-1]), lst[-1])

Works as expected:

 my_join([])
=> ""
 my_join(["x"])
=> "x"
 my_join(["x", "y"])
=> "x and y"
 my_join(["x", "y", "z"])
=> "x, y and z"
