STRINGS Modify strings (cont)

Strings string = "​wor​ds" or 'words' maxsplit is optional, all occurr​ences is defaul​t(-1) string.sp​lit​("-
conect string​1+s​tring2 ",1)

multiply string*3 find string string.fi​nd(​"​val​‐

ue",​sta​rt,end)
compare ('if' or 'if string1 == string2 (or != or > or <)
not') find the first occurrence of a substring in a string string.fi​nd(​"​‐
sub​str​ing​")
check ('if or 'if not') 'subst​ring' in string
start and end are optional string.fi​nd(​"​‐
position string[0] or string[-1] or string[x]
sub​str​‐
slicing string​[st​art​:en​d:step]
ing​"​,3,10)
string[:3] or string[1:]
returns the position of the substring
string​[::-1] inverted
index and find are the same, except that when string.in​dex​‐
false find returns -1 and index returns error ("su​bst​rin​g")
Slicing strings
lowercase string.lo​wer()
slicing: string​[st​art​:en​d:step]
uppercase string.up​per()
from start to end string​[2:5]
capitalize first char upper string.ca​pit​‐
from start string[:5] alize()
to the end string[2:] title first char of each word upper string.ti​tle()
jumping string​[2:5:2] join values of a list/d​ict​/tuple/ into string ' '.join​(list)
negati​ve/​inv​erted string​[::-1] count the occurences of substring in a string string.co​unt​('s​‐
ubs​tring')
Modify strings

remove whites​paces before and string.st​rip() Format strings

after the string str.format 'Hello, {} and {}'.fo​rma​t(s​tring, string2)
or remove any 'chara​cters' string.st​rip​('ch') f-string (3.6+) f'Hello, {string} and {string2}'
only before​(left) the string string.ls​trip() Integer numbers into f'Hello, {strin​g:_}'
only after(​right) the string string.rs​trip() strings*
replace string string.re​pla​ce(​"old value", "new 'b' - binary {string:b}
value", counter) 'c' - character (ASCII) 'Hello, {examp​le:​c}'.fo​rma​t(e​xample =
counter is how many occurences from start, nothing is default and 'String', ...)
means every occurrence 'd' - decimal 'Hello, {0:d} and {1}.fo​rma​t(s​tri​ng,​str​‐
use it to remove whites​paces string.re​pla​ce(​" ", "​") ing2)
inside the string 'o' - octal {string:o}
split strings create list from string.sp​lit​(se​par​ato​r,m​axs​plit) 'x' - hexade​cimal, 'Hello, {0.x} and {0:X}.f​or​mat​(st​ring)
strings lowercase
separator is optional, string.sp​lit​(",")
whitespace is default

Format strings (cont) LISTS

'X' - hexade​cimal, {string:X} Lists list = ["st​rin​g", "​str​ing​2", integer, Bool]

uppercase ordered, change​able, list = [item1, item2, item3]
'n' - number, decimal in {string:n} allow duplicates
local language OS Lenght len(list)
Floati​ng-​point f'{int​ege​r:f}' (6 standard) Access [start index list[1] / list[-1], list[2:5], list[:5]
round(a,2) f'{int​ege​r:.2f}' (2 decimal digits) includ​ed:end index not]
'e' ou 'E' - scientific {:e}.f​orm​at(999) Check if Item exists if "​ite​m" in list:
notation (6 standard) Change items list[3] = "​new​_va​lue​"
'E' - scientific notation (6 f'{999​:.3E}' range of items list[2:5] = "​new​_va​lue​1", "​new​_va​lue​2"
standard)
insert​(in​dex​,value) list.i​nse​rt(2, "​ite​m")
'g' precisão >=1, round {:g}.f​orm​at(​12.1​23​123​5843) without replacing any
digits p to signif​icant digit item
'n' - same as 'g', but local f'{12.1​23​123​584​3:n}' append() add item to the list.a​ppe​nd(​"​ite​m")
language OS end
'%' - multiply the number f'{0.0​5:%}' extend() add items from list.e​xte​nd(​list2)
*100 and '%' after other list
two digits before '.' and '{:2.2​%}'.fo​rma​t(0.05) works with tuples also list.e​xte​nd(​tuple)
two after
remove() remove first list.r​emo​ve(​"​str​ing​")
Spacing matching value
'<' left align / '^' center '{0:<1​6}'.fo​rma​t(s​tring) / f.'{st​rin​g:^16}' / pop() remove specified list.p​op(1)
align / '>' right align {:>16} index, and returns it
number of digits {:4) del() remove specified list.d​el(3)
whites​paces if the string {strin​g:16} index
has less than 16.. clear() empties the list list.c​lear()
choose char instead of {*:16} sort() sort the list alphan​‐ list.s​ort()
whitespace ume​rically
sort descending list.s​ort​(re​ver​se=​True)
COLLEC​TIONS
reverse() order list.r​eve​rse()
List collection which is ordered and change​able. Allows
copy() make a copy list2 = list.c​opy()
duplicate members.
or use list() list3 = list(l​ist2)
Tuple collection which is ordered and unchan​geable. Allows
duplicate members. Concat​enate Lists list3 = list1 + list2

Dictionary collection which is ordered and change​able. No or use extend() list.e​xte​nd(​list2)

duplicate members. count() returns the list.c​ount() / list.c​oun​t('​value')
Set collection which is unordered, unchan​geable, and number of items*
unindexed. No duplicate members. index() finds the item and list.i​nde​x('​value')
return its index
min() / max() / sum() list.min() list.max() list.sum()
