Study Notes
String Methods
- The
splitmethod returns a list containing the words in the string, using space as the default separator, but a different separator can be specified as an argument. - Tokenizing is the process of breaking a string into tokens, and in Python, it can be done using the
splitmethod.
Repetition Operator
- The
*symbol is a repetition operator when applied to a string and an integer, creating multiple copies of the original string.
String Methods (continued)
endswith(substring): returnsTrueif the string ends with the specified substring.find(substring): returns the lowest index in the string where the substring is found, or-1if not found.replace(old, new): returns a copy of the string with all instances ofoldreplaced bynew.startswith(substring): returnsTrueif the string starts with the specified substring.
Searching for Substrings
- Programs often need to search for substrings, and several methods can be used:
find(substring): searches for the substring within the string.startswith(substring): checks if the string starts with the substring.endswith(substring): checks if the string ends with the substring.
String Case Conversion
lower(): returns a copy of the string with all alphabetic letters converted to lowercase.upper(): returns a copy of the string with all alphabetic letters converted to uppercase.
Removing Whitespace
lstrip(): returns a copy of the string with all leading whitespace characters removed.lstrip(char): returns a copy of the string with all instances ofcharremoved from the beginning.rstrip(): returns a copy of the string with all trailing whitespace characters removed.rstrip(char): returns a copy of the string with all instances ofcharremoved from the end.strip(): returns a copy of the string with all leading and trailing whitespace characters removed.strip(char): returns a copy of the string with all instances ofcharremoved from the beginning and end.
String Comparison
- String comparisons are case-sensitive.
- Uppercase characters are distinguished from lowercase characters.
- The
lower()andupper()methods can be used to make case-insensitive string comparisons.
