String Manipulation Notes

Introduction
• As we know that a sequence of characters enclosed in single quotes, double quotes
or triple quotes (‘ ‘ , “ “, ‘’’ ‘’’) is called a string.
• In python, strings are immutable meaning they can’t be changed.
• In a String, each character remains at a unique position number or index number
which goes from 0 to n-1 (n is the total number of characters in the string).
• In this chapter, we will see techniques of string manipulation.
String Creation
• String can be created in following ways-
1. By assigning value directly to the variable

String Literal

2. By taking Input
Input ( ) always return input in
string form.
Traversal of a string
• Process to access each and every character of a string for the purpose of display or
for some other purpose is called string traversal.

String Operators
• There are 2 operators that can be used to work uponstrings + and *.
» +Concatination (it is used to join two strings)
• Like - “tea” + “pot” will result into “teapot”
• Like- “1” + “2” will result into “12”
• Like – “123” + “abc” will result into “123abc”

» * R e p l i c a t i o n (it is used to replicate the string)


• like - 5*”@” will result into “@@@@@”
• Like - “go!” * 3 will result “go!go!go!”

note : - “5” * “6” expression is invalid.


Membership Operators in Strings
• 2 membership operators works with strings are in and not in. To understand the
working of these operators, look at thegiven examples -
• in operator results into True or False. Like-
– “a” in “Sanjeev” will result into True.
– “ap” in “Sanjeev” will result into False.
– “anj” in “Sanjeev” will result into True.
• not in operator also results into True or False. Like-
– “k” not in “Sanjeev” will result into True.
– “ap” not in “Sanjeev” will result into True.
– “anj” not in “Sanjeev” will result into False.
String Comparison Operators
• Look carefully at following examples -
• “a” == “a” True
• “abc”==“abc” True
• “a”!=“abc” True
• “A”==“a” False
• “abc” ==“Abc” False
• ‘a’<‘A’ False (because Unicode value of lower case is higher than
upper case)

How to get Ordinal/Unicode Values?


• Look at following examples-
>>>ord (‘A’) >>>char(97)
65 a
>>>ord(‘a’) >>>char(65)
97 A
String Slicing
• Look at following examples carefully-
Inde 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
x R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y
-14 -13 -12 -11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
Wor

Reverse index

word = “RESPONSIBILITY”
word[ 0 : 14 ] will result into‘RESPONSIBILITY’
word[ 0 : 3] will result into‘RES’
word[ 2 : 5 ] will result into‘SPO’
word[ -7 : -3 ] will result into‘IBIL’
word[ : 14 ] will result into‘RESPONSIBILITY’
word[ : 5 ] will result into ‘RESPO’
word[ 3 : ] will result into ‘PONSIBILITY’
String Functions
String.capitalize() Converts first character to Capital Letter
String.find() Returns the Lowest Index of Substring
String.index() Returns Index of Substring
String.isalnum() Checks Alphanumeric Character
String.isalpha() Checks if All Characters are Alphabets
String.isdigit() Checks Digit Characters
String.islower() Checks if all Alphabets in a String.are Lowercase
String.isupper() returns if all characters are uppercase characters
String.join() Returns a Concatenated String
String.lower() returns lowercased string
String.upper() returns uppercased string
len() Returns Length of an Object
ord() returns Unicode code point for Unicode character
reversed() returns reversed iterator of a sequence
slice() creates a slice object specified by range()
