Weak Type Ability for Python

[avi.e.gross at gmail.com]

On closer reading, the OP may be asking how to make a function doing what
they want, albeit without a plus.

Here is a python function as a one-liner that takes exactly two arguments of
any kind (including string and integer) and concatenates them into one
string without anything between and prints them:

def strprint(first, second): print(str(first) + str(second))

>>> strprint(5,1)
51
>>> strprint("a5",1)
a51
>>> strprint(12,"o'clock")
12o'clock
>>> strprint(3.1415926535,complex(3,4))
3.1415926535(3+4j)

Want something similar for any number of arguments? Here is a slightly
longer one-liner:

def strprintall(*many): print(''.join([str(each) for each in many]))

>>>
strprintall(1,"=egy\n",2,"=kettő\n",3,"=három\n",4,"=négy\n",5,"=öt\n","in
my childhood language.\n")
1=egy
2=kettő
3=három
4=négy
5=öt
in my childhood language.

Note my meager attempt is not using a plus sign as I addressed a sort of way
that could be done using a __radd__ method or other ways like an f-string.

I can not repeat this often enough. The easiest way to do something you want
in a new language is to work within the existing language as-is and not to
ask the language to change to be the way you want. That can take years or
never happen, and especially if the designers did not want the feature you
ask for.

Or possibly print(x, y, sep='').

Agreed.
