what is .join amendola

I am taking the beginning python track and have never heard of this .join function! Megan Amendola uses .join in the header (ln40 at 5:39) and doesn't say anything about what it is or what it does. Could someone please explain what .join is so I can actually understand? Or did I miss the lesson on it?

The .join method is a standard built-in string method that was probably covered in one of the beginner-level courses (you're currently in an intermediate level course). But since you'll be likely to encounter new methods from time to time anyway, this is a good opportunity to get comfortable using the official Python documentation reference pages.

The .join method is covered on this page.

And here's the .join page at W3schools, which is another good reference source and typically has a bit more detail and some examples.
