If the string is empty, use the null code. The code is: print(null);

think of empty string as zero for numbers. for example to find the sum of numbers in a list you initialize sum to zero then iterate over all numbers in the list adding one by one to sum. similarly assume we have a list colors =["red ","green ","blue "] and would like to create a string contains all the elements of colors. we can start by an empty string then keep communicating the elements. str ="" for c in colors: str += c print(str) the result will be: red green blue
