Python Strings | tutorial 4

How to add single quotes, double quotes, or both quotes in the python strings?

Example:

course = "Python's for everyone"
print(course)
new_course = 'Python for "EveryOne"'
print(new_course)
email = '''
Hi John!,

Welcome to helperscript to learn Python's for "Everyone"

Thank you,
Support Team
'''
print(email)

Triple quotes (”’Python for “Everyone””’) – Three single quotes from the start and three single quotes from the end. This type of string escapes all the symbols in the string.

Split string into an array (or) Split the string in python

Python string starts index with zero(0).

Example: course variable has string “Python for Everyone”

Course = ‘Python for Everyone’

Get the first character of a string in python

course[0]   

Get the second character of a string in python

course[1]  

Get the last character of a string in python

course[-1]

Get the last second character of a string in python

course[-2]

Get the first three character of a string in python

course[0:3]

Remove the first character and remove the last 3 characters of a string in python

course[1:-3]

Remove the character after 6 index

course[:6]

Remove the first 6 characters in the string

course[6:]

Clone or copy the string

course[:]

Code: 

# strings
course = 'Python for Everyone'
print(course);
print('course[0] = ' + course[0])
print('course[1] = ' + course[1])
print('course[-1] = ' + course[-1])
print('course[-2] = ' + course[-2])
print('course[0:3] = ' + course[0:3])
print('course[1:-3] = ' + course[1:-3])
print('course[:5] = ' + course[:6])
print('course[6:] = ' + course[6:])
print('course[:] = ' + course[:])

OUTPUT:

String Concatenation

Two ways to concat the string dynamically.

Normal way – firstname +’ ’+ lastname +’ is a coder’
Format way – f‘{firstname} {lastname} is a code’

f – prefix with f define a formatted string

Code:

Python strings method

Let,
course = ‘Python for Beginners’

# find the length of string
len(course)

# convert uppercase
course.upper()

# convert lowercase
course.lower()

# convert first character uppercase in each word
course.title()

# find an index of character or sequence of character.

 Python find() method is case sensitive.

print(course.find(‘P’))  # gives index of capital P
print(course.find(‘p’))  # return -1 if not present. 
print(course.find(‘Beginners’))

# Replace a character
course.replace(‘P’, ‘J’)

# Replace a sequence of character
course.replace(‘Python’, ‘Angular’)

# find a string contains in the existing string(case sensitive)
‘Python’ in course

App.py

course = 'Python for Beginners'
# find the length of string
print(len(course))
# convert uppercase
print(course.upper())
# convert lowercase
print(course.lower())
# convert first character uppercase in each word
print(course.title())
# find index of character or sequence of character
print(course.find('P'))  # capital
print(course.find('p'))  # small letter
print(course.find('Beginners'))
# Replace a character
print(course.replace('P', 'J'))
# Replace a sequence of character
print(course.replace('Python', 'Angular'))
# find a string contains in existing string
print('Python' in course) # gives boolean output either True or False
