CHAPTER 10 - STRING MANIPULATION


Type C : Programming Practice/Knowledge based Questions

Q 1. Write a program to count the number of times a character occurs in


the given string.
SOLUTION
str = input("Enter a String : ")
chr = input("Enter a Character : ")
m = 0
for i in str :
if i == chr :
m += 1
print(chr, "occurs", m, "times in", str)
OR
str = input("Enter a string : ")
chr = input("Enter a character : ");
m = str.count(chr)
print(chr, "occurs", m, "times in", str)
OUTPUT
Enter a String : computer science
Enter a Character : e
e occurs 3 times in computer science

Q 2. Write a program which replaces all vowels in the string with '*'.
SOLUTION
str = input("Enter a String : ")
vowel = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u", "A", "E", "I", "O", "U"]
new = "" # Empty string
for i in str :
if i in vowel :
new += "*"
else :
new += i
print("New String :", new)
OUTPUT
Enter a String : Programming
New String : Pr*gr*mm*ng

Q 3. Write a program which reverses a string and stores the reversed


string in a new string.
SOLUTION
str = input("Enter the string: ")
new = ""
for ch in str :
new = ch + new
print("Reversed String : ", new)
OR
str = input('Enter a String : ')
ln = len(str)
new = ""
for i in range(-1, (-ln-1), -1) :
new += str[i]
print("Reversed String : ", new)
OUTPUT
Enter a String : python
Reversed String : nohtyp

Q 4. Write a program that prompts for a phone number of 10 digits and


two dashes, with dashes after the area code and the next three numbers.
For example, 017-555-1212 is a legal input. Display if the phone number
entered is valid format or not and display if the phone number is valid or
not (i. e. , contains just the digits and dash at specific places.)
SOLUTION
num = input("Enter Phone Number : ")
valid = len(num) == 12 and num[3] == "-" and
num[4:7].isdigit() and num [7] == "-" and num[8:13].isdigit()
and num[:3].isdigit()
if valid:
print("It is valid number")
else:
print("It is not valid number")
OR
num = input("Enter Phone Number : ")
if len(num) == 12:
if num[3] == "-" :
if num[4:7].isdigit():
if num [7] == "-":
if num[8: 13].isdigit():
if num[:3].isdigit():
print("It is valid number")
else:
print("It is not valid number")
else:
print("It is not valid number")
else:
print("It is not valid number")
else:
print("It is not valid number")
else:
print("It is not valid number")
else:
print("It is not valid number")
OUTPUT
Enter Phone Number : 122-233-4545
It is valid number

Q 5. Write a program that should do the following :


▲ prompt the user for a string
▲ extract all the digits from the string
▲ If there are digits:
▲ sum the collected digits together
▲ print out the original string, the digits, the sum of the digits
▲ If there are no digits:
▲ print the original string and a message "has no digits"
Sample
▲ given the input : abc123
prints abc123 has the digits 123 which sum to 6
▲ given the input : abcd
prints abcd has no digits
SOLUTION
str = input("Enter a String : ")
digit = ""
sum = 0
for ch in str :
if ch.isdigit() :
digit += ch
sum += int(ch)
if digit != "" :
print(str, "has the digits", digit, " which sum to", sum)
else :
print(str, "has no digits")
OUTPUT
Enter a String : xyz789
xyz789 has the digits 789 which sum to 24

Q 6. Write a program that should prompt the user to type some


sentence(s) followed by "enter". It should then print the original
sentence(s) and the following statistics relating to the sentence(s) :
▲Number of words
▲Number of characters (including white-space and punctuation)
▲Percentage of characters that are alphanumeric
Hints
▲Assume any consecutive sequence of non-blank characters is a word.
SOLUTION

sen = input("Enter a few sentences: ")


length = len(sen)
spaceCount = 0
alnumCount = 0
for ch in sen :
if ch.isspace() :
spaceCount += 1
elif ch.isalnum() :
alnumCount += 1
alnumPercent = (alnumCount / length) * 100
print("Number of words :", (spaceCount + 1))
print("Number of characters :", length)
print("Alphanumeric Percentage :", alnumPercent, "%")
OUTPUT
Enter a few sentences : people die if they are killed...
Number of words : 6
Number of characters : 32
Alphanumeric Percentage : 75.0 %

Q 7. Write a Python program as per specifications given below:


▲ Repeatedly prompt for a sentence (string) or for 'q' to quit.
▲ Upon input of a sentence s, print the string produced from s by
converting each lower case letter to upper case and each upper case
letter to lower case.
▲ All other characters are left unchanged.
For example,
Please enter a sentence, or 'q' to quit : This is the Bomb!
tHIS IS THE bOMB!
Please enter a sentence, or 'q ' to quit : What's up Doc ???
wHAT'S UP dOC ???
Please enter a sentence, or 'q' to quit : q
SOLUTION

while True :
str = input("Please enter a sentence(enter 'q' to quit) :
")
newStr = ""
if str.lower() == "q" :
break
else:
for ch in str :
if ch.islower() :
newStr += ch.upper()
elif ch.isupper() :
newStr += ch.lower()
else :
newStr += ch
print(newStr)
OUTPUT
Please enter a sentence(enter 'q' to quit) : You wanna say
something?
yOU WANNA SAY SOMETHING?
Please enter a sentence(enter 'q' to quit) : No, I Don't
wanna
nO,i dON'T WANNA
Please enter a sentence(enter 'q' to quit) : q

Q 8. Write a program that does the following :


▲takes two inputs : the first, an integer and the second, a string
▲from the input string extract all the digits, in the order they occurred,
from the string.
▲if no digits occur, set the extracted digits to 0
▲add the integer input and the digits extracted from the string
together as integers
▲Print a string of the form :
"integer_input + string_digits = sum"
For example :
For inputs 12, 'abc123' → '12 + 123 = 135'
For inputs 20, 'a5b6c7' → '20 + 567 =587'
For inputs 100, 'hi mom' → '100 + 0 = 100'
SOLUTION
num = int(input("Enter an integer : "))
str = input("Enter a string : ")
digit = ''
if digit.isalpha() :
digit = 0
for ch in str :
if ch.isdigit() :
digit += ch
print(num, "+", digit, "=", (num + int(digit)))
OUTPUT
Enter an integer : 9
Enter a string : xyz789
9 + 789 = 798

Q 11. Write a program that asks the user for a string (only single space
between words) and returns an estimate of how many words are in the
string. (Hint. Count number of spaces)
SOLUTION
str = input("Enter a String : ")
count = 0
for ch in str :
if ch.isspace() :
count += 1
print("No. of Word :", (count+1))
OUTPUT
Enter a String : just because you're correct doesn't mean
you're right
No. of Word : 8

Q 12. Write a program to input a formula with some brackets and checks,
and prints out if the formula has the same number of opening and closing
parentheses.
SOLUTION
str = input("Enter a formula : ")
count = 0
for ch in str :
if ch == '(' :
count += 1
elif ch == ')' :
count -= 1
if count == 0 :
print("Formula has same number of opening and closing
parentheses.")
else :
print("Formula has unequal number of opening and closing
parentheses.")
OUTPUT
Enter a formula : (n/2)(2a + (n - 1)d)
Formula has same number of opening and closing parentheses.

Q 13. Write a program that inputs a line of text and prints out the count of
vowels in it.
SOLUTION
str = input("Enter a String : ")
vowel = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u", "A", "E", "I", "O", "U"]
count = 0
for ch in str :
if ch in vowel :
count += 1
print("No. of vowels :", count)
OUTPUT
Enter a String : just because you’re correct doesn’t mean
you’re right
No. of vowels : 18

Q 14. Write a program to input a line of text and print the biggest word
(length wise) from it.
SOLUTION
str = input("Enter a string: ")
words = str.split()
longest = ''
for w in words :
if len(w) > len(longest) :
longest = w
print("Longest Word :", longest)
OUTPUT
Enter a string: I ran out of Ideas
Longest Word : Ideas

Q 15. Write a program to input a line of text and create a new line of text
where each word of input line is reversed.
SOLUTION
str = input("Enter a string : ")
words = str.split()
newStr = ""
for w in words :
rw = ""
for ch in w :
rw = ch + rw
newStr += rw + " "
print(newStr)
OUTPUT
Enter a string : really nothing
