Strings in python





 In Python, a string is a sequence of characters. They are enclosed in single or double quotes. For example:

string1 = "Hello, World!" string2 = 'Hello, World!'

Both of the above examples create strings with the same value.

You can use the + operator to concatenate strings, and the * operator to repeat a string a certain number of times. For example:

string3 = "Hello, " + "World!" string4 = "Hello, " * 3

There are many useful built-in methods for strings in Python, such as find(), replace(), split(), strip(), join(), etc. For example:

string5 = "Hello, World!" print(string5.find("World")) print(string5.replace("World", "Universe"))

You can also use indexing and slicing to access parts of a string. For example:

string6 = "Hello, World!" print(string6[0]) print(string6[7:12])

You can also use len() function to get the length of a string.

Additionally, strings are immutable, meaning that once a string is created, its value cannot be changed.

You can use f-strings(from python 3.6) to embed expressions inside string literals, using {}. For example:

name = "John" age = 30 print(f'{name} is {age} years old.')

This is a brief overview of strings in Python. There's a lot more to learn, including string formatting and advanced techniques for working with strings.


Here is an overview of some techniques for working with strings in Python:

  1. Concatenation: You can use the + operator to concatenate two or more strings together. For example:
string1 = "Hello" string2 = " World" string3 = string1 + string2 print(string3) # Output: "Hello World"
  1. Repetition: You can use the * operator to repeat a string a certain number of times. For example:
string4 = "Hello" string5 = string4 * 3 print(string5) # Output: "HelloHelloHello"
  1. Formatting: You can use the format() method to insert values into a string. For example:
name = "John" age = 30 string6 = "My name is {} and I am {} years old.".format(name, age) print(string6) # Output: "My name is John and I am 30 years old."
  1. String Interpolation: f-strings(from python 3.6) are a way to embed expressions inside string literals, using {}. For example:
name = "John" age = 30 string7 = f'My name is {name} and I am {age} years old.' print(string7) # Output: "My name is John and I am 30 years old."
  1. Indexing and Slicing: You can use indexing to access individual characters in a string and slicing to access a range of characters. For example:
string8 = "Hello, World!" print(string8[0]) # Output: "H" print(string8[7:12]) # Output: "World"
  1. Built-in String Methods: Python has many built-in methods for working with strings, such as find(), replace(), split(), strip(), join(), etc. For example:
string9 = "Hello, World!" print(string9.find("World")) # Output: 7 print(string9.replace("World", "Universe")) # Output: "Hello, Universe!"
  1. String Comparison: You can use comparison operators(<,>,<=,>=,==,!=) to compare strings. For example:
string10 = "Hello" string11 = "World" print(string10 == string11) # Output: False
  1. String Membership: You can use the in keyword to check if a string is present in another string. For example:
string12 = "Hello, World!" print("World" in string12) # Output: True
  1. String Escaping: You can use the backslash() to escape special characters in a string. For example:
string13 = "Hello, \"World\"!" print(string13) # Output: "Hello, "World"!"
  1. String Encoding/Decoding: You can use encode() and decode() methods to convert strings to different formats. For example:
string14 = "Hello, World!" string15 = string14.encode() print(string15) # Output: b'Hello, World!' string
