Introduction to Strings
- Strings are sequences of characters used in various applications.
- They include letters, numbers, punctuation, and spaces.
- Strings can be represented using single quotes, double quotes, or triple quotes.
String Creation and Storage
- Strings are data types in Python.
- Strings are enclosed in quotation marks.
- Different types of quotes can be used to create strings (single, double, and triple).
- Empty strings are created with no characters within quotation marks.
- Individual characters can be represented by using single quotes.
String Operations
- Strings can be concatenated using the '+' symbol.
- The '*' operator creates repeated string sequences.
- Python's
str()function converts objects to string representations.
Basic String Operations
- Strings can be concatenated using the '+' sign.
- Repetition of strings occurs with the '*' operator.
- Example programs demonstrate string concatenation.
- Inputting data from the user to create strings.
- Example programs convert values into strings when needed.
String Methods
- Python has built-in string methods for various operations.
- Examples include
capitalize(),casefold(),center(),count(),endswith(),find(),isalnum(),isalpha(),isdecimal(),isdigit(),isidentifier(),islower(),isspace(),isnumeric(),istitle()isupper(),ljust(),lower(),lstrip(),replace(),rjust(),rstrip(),splitlines(),startswith(),strip(),swapcase(),title(), andupper() - These methods have specific uses as detailed in the text.
- The detailed descriptions of all the methods are listed in the text.
String Indexing and Slicing
- Strings use indexing (starting at 0) to access individual characters.
- Slicing retrieves substrings using the
[start:end]syntax. - Both positive and negative indexing can be used.
String Joining and Splitting
- The
join()method combines strings in a sequence separated by a given string. - The
split()method splits a string into a list of substrings based on a delimiter (defaulting to whitespace).
Built-In Functions
- The
len()function returns the number of characters in a string. - The
max()andmin()functions find the character with highest and lowest ASCII values respectively.
String Comparison
- Strings are compared using comparison operators (>, <, =, !=, <=, >=).
- Comparisons are based on ASCII values.
Additional Resources
- TutorialsPoint and other online resources about Python string manipulations.
Assessment
- Assessment details regarding string manipulations are provided.
