How to combine bytes in Python
To combine bytes in Python, you can use the bytes.join()
method. This method takes a list of byte objects and returns a single byte object that is the concatenation of all the byte objects in the list.
Here is an example:
# Define a list of byte objects
byte_list = [b'Hello', b'World']
# Concatenate the byte objects using the bytes.join() method
result = b''.join(byte_list)
# Print the result
print(result) # Output: b'HelloWorld'
Alternatively, you can use the +
operator to concatenate two or more byte objects. Here is an example:
# Define two byte objects
byte1 = b'Hello'
byte2 = b'World'
# Concatenate the byte objects using the + operator
result = byte1 + byte2
# Print the result
print(result) # Output: b'HelloWorld'
Keep in mind that the +
operator creates a new byte object, whereas the bytes.join()
method modifies the existing byte objects in the list. This means that the bytes.join()
method is more efficient if you are working with a large number of byte objects.
