Study Notes
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.
References
- References for Python programming books given.
