Algorithm for joining e.g. an array of strings

Question

I have wondered for some time, what a nice, clean solution for joining an array of strings might look like. Example: I have [\"Alpha\", \"Beta\", \"Gamma\"] and want to join

Answer 1

join() function in Ruby:

def join(seq, sep) 
  seq.inject { |total, item| total << sep << item } or "" 
end

join(["a", "b", "c"], ", ")
# => "a, b, c"
