Basic Strings

The document demonstrates various string methods in Python like indexing, slicing, counting characters, checking start/end, splitting, uppercase/lowercase conversion. It contains code snippets that create a sample string and apply different string methods on it to extract information. The output from each code snippet is displayed to show the results of the string methods.

1. astring = "Hello world!

"

print("single quotes are ' '")

print(len(astring))

O/P

single quotes are ' ' 12

2. astring = "Hello world!"

sprint(astring.index("o")) OP 4

3. astring = "Hello world!"


print(astring.count("l")) OP 3
4. astring = "Hello world!"
print(astring[3:7]) OP lo w
5. astring = "Hello world!"
print(astring[3:7:2]) l
This prints the characters of string from 3 to 7 skipping one character. This is extended slice
syntax. The general form is [start:stop:step].

6. astring = "Hello world!"


print(astring[::-1]) !dlrow olleH
There is no function like strrev in C to reverse a string. But with the above mentioned type of
slice syntax you can easily reverse a string like this
7. astring = "Hello world!"
print(astring.upper())
print(astring.lower()) HELLO WORLD!
hello world!
8. astring = "Hello world!"
print(astring.startswith("Hello"))
print(astring.endswith("asdfasdfasdf"))
OUT True
False
9. astring = "Hello world!"
afewwords = astring.split(" ")
astring = "Hello world!"

afewwords = astring.split("l")
print(afewwords)
out
['He', '', 'o wor', 'd!']
CODE

s = "Strings are awesome!"


# Length should be 20
print("Length of s = %d" % len(s))

# First occurrence of "a" should be at index 8


print("The first occurrence of the letter a = %d" % s.index("a"))

# Number of a's should be 2


print("a occurs %d times" % s.count("a"))

# Slicing the string into bits


print("The first five characters are '%s'" % s[:5]) # Start to 5
print("The next five characters are '%s'" % s[5:10]) # 5 to 10
print("The thirteenth character is '%s'" % s[12]) # Just number 12
print("The characters with odd index are '%s'" %s[1::2]) #(0-based indexing)
print("The last five characters are '%s'" % s[-5:]) # 5th-from-last to end

# Convert everything to uppercase


print("String in uppercase: %s" % s.upper())

# Convert everything to lowercase


print("String in lowercase: %s" % s.lower())

# Check how a string starts


if s.startswith("Str"):
print("String starts with 'Str'. Good!")

# Check how a string ends


if s.endswith("ome!"):
print("String ends with 'ome!'. Good!")

# Split the string into three separate strings,


# each containing only a word
print("Split the words of the string: %s" % s.split(" "))

<script.py> output:
Length of s = 20
The first occurrence of the letter a = 8
a occurs 2 times
The first five characters are 'Strin'
The next five characters are 'gs ar'
The thirteenth character is 'a'
The characters with odd index are 'tig r wsm!'
The last five characters are 'some!'
String in uppercase: STRINGS ARE AWESOME!
String in lowercase: strings are awesome!
String starts with 'Str'. Good!
String ends with 'ome!'. Good!
Split the words of the string: ['Strings', 'are', 'awesome!']
