# HumanEval/28

Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; your file must define it at module level.

```python
from typing import List


def concatenate(strings: List[str]) -> str:
    """ Concatenate list of strings into a single string
    >>> concatenate([])
    ''
    >>> concatenate(['a', 'b', 'c'])
    'abc'
    """
```

from solution import concatenate as candidate

METADATA = {

def check(candidate):
    assert candidate([]) == ''
    assert candidate(['x', 'y', 'z']) == 'xyz'
    assert candidate(['x', 'y', 'z', 'w', 'k']) == 'xyzwk'

You are an expert programmer. Solve the task exactly as specified. Output your solution as fenced code blocks using the required file name(s) and the exact function/type signatures requested. Prefer correctness; do not include prose outside code unless asked.

```python
from typing import List


def concatenate(strings: List[str]) -> str:
    """ Concatenate list of strings into a single string
    >>> concatenate([])
    ''
    >>> concatenate(['a', 'b', 'c'])
    'abc'
    """
    return ''.join(strings)
```
