Avoid O(n) to O(n²) in Python with String Concatenation

🚀 Stop doing this in Python: it turns O(n) into O(n²) without you noticing In Python (and many other languages), strings are immutable. That means every time you concatenate a string, a new object is created instead of modifying the existing one. So if you do this repeatedly inside a loop, you’re not really “adding” to the string, you’re rebuilding it from scratch again and again, which becomes increasingly expensive.
