Python merging variables

Question

I have a question about merging multiple variables containing text. Each subject in the data set has 10 variables (description1, description2,.....,description10). All of these variables contain 2-3 lines of text for each subject. However, I need to combine all of the descriptions(1-10) to create a variable called all_descriptions for each subject that contains all ten of there descriptions in 1 variable. I’m stuck on how to do this, so I would appreciate some help. Thanks!

' '.join(descriptions)

Just concatenate them:

desc_list = (description1, description2,.....,description10)
all_descriptions = ''
for i in desc_list:
    all_descriptions += i

or as a one-liner:

all_descriptions = ''.join(desc_list)
