Join function is not returning a string value from a list

I am trying to make convert a list into a string so i can print it and show my desired outcome however, for some reason, the join function is not working like it was before.

This is my code:

xno = 5
yno = 10

exis =xno*'x'


list1 = ('.',exis,'-')*yno
str1 = ''.join(list1)
strop = str(str1)



flist = strop.split('-')




'\n'.join(flist)

print(flist)

In Python, join will return a new value but won't modify the list reference passed in.

You could set a variable as such:

list_str = '\n'.join(flist)

print(list_str)

or, just pass the join function into print:

print('\n'.join(flist))
