print elements of list as string in python 2.7

Question

I have a list of strings that contain a letter and number pair, for example a=["B8", "C1", "B4", "A3"]

I'd like to be able to use this list and combine it (without brackets, commas, or quotation marks) with a base string "You have" in a print statement to tell the user You have B8 C1 B4 A3

It doesn't seem possible to do this using the .join() and .append() methods.

Please show how you have tried, and in what way(s) they failed. — Scott Hunter

str.format and str.join will do exactly what you want:

a = ["B8", "C1", "B4", "A3"]
print("You have {}".format(" ".join(a)))

In [6]: a=["B8", "C1", "B4", "A3"]
In [7]: print("You have {}".format(" ".join(a)))
You have B8 C1 B4 A3
