String in python

String in python

A string is a collection of text. Anything in Python surrounded by ‘’ or “” is called a string.
Single line strings are surrounded by single or double commas while we can write
multiline strings as well using triple commas

x = ‘single line string’
x = “single line string”
y = ”’multiline string
multiline string ”’

Example

name = “Python”

print(name)

message = “I love Python.”

print(message)

Indexing: One way is to treat strings as a list and use index values. For example,

greet = ‘hello’

print(greet[1])       –  e

Negative Indexing: Similar to a list, Python allows negative indexing for its strings. For example,

greet = ‘hello’

print(greet[-4])           – e

Slicing: Access a range of characters in a string by using the slicing operator colon :  For example

a = “Hello”
print(a[1:5])

String length

a = “Hello, World!”
print(len(a))

IN keyword

………………

txt = “The best things in life are free!”
print(“free” in txt)

………………..

txt = “The best things in life are free!”
if “free” in txt:
print(“Yes, ‘free’ is present.”)

…………

txt = “The best things in life are free!”
print(“expensive” not in txt)

Python String Operations

Comparison

str1 = “Hello, world!”

str2 = “I love Python.”

str3 = “Hello, world!”

print(str1 == str2)

print(str1 == str3)

Join Two or More Strings

greet = “Hello, ”

name = “Ali”

result = greet + name

print(result)

……….

We can iterate through a string using a for loop. For example,

a= ‘Hello’

for letter in a:

print(letter)

Python String Formatting

name = ‘ahmad’

country = ‘UAE’

print(f'{name} is from {country}’)
