Slicing
You can return a range of characters by using the slice syntax.

"!b = "Hello, World


print(b[2:5])

Get the characters from the start to position 5 (not included):

b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[:5])

Get the characters from position 2, and all the way to the end:

b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[2:])

Negative Indexing
Use negative indexes to start the slice from the end of the string:

Example
Get the characters:

From: "o" in "World!" (position -5)

To, but not included: "d" in "World!" (position -2):

b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[-5:-2])

The upper() method returns the string in upper case:


a = "Hello, World!"
print(a.upper())

The lower() method returns the string in lower case:

a = "Hello, World!"
print(a.lower())

Remove Whitespace
Whitespace is the space before and/or after the actual text, and very
often you want to remove this space.

Example
The strip() method removes any whitespace from the beginning or the
end:

a = " Hello, World! "


print(a.strip()) # returns "Hello, World!"

The replace() method replaces a string with another string:

a = "Hello, World!"
print(a.replace("H", "J"))

The split() method returns a list where the text between the
specified separator becomes the list items.

The split() method splits the string into substrings if it finds


instances of the separator:

a = "Hello, World!"
print(a.split(",")) # returns ['Hello', ' World!']
