1.

Reversing a String

To reverse a string in Python, you can use slicing:

Code-

s = "hello"
reversed_s = s[::-1]
print(reversed_s)

# Output : "olleh"

2. Checking for a Palindrome

A palindrome is a string that reads the same backward as forward.

Code-

def is_palindrome(s):
return s == s[::-1]

print(is_palindrome("madam"))

# Output: True

def is_palindrome(s):
return s == s[::-1]
print(is_palindrome("hello"))

# Output: False

3. Counting the Occurrence of Characters

You can use Python's collections.Counter to count character occurrences.

Code-
from collections import Counter
s = "abracadabra"
char_count = Counter(s)
print(char_count)

# Output: {'a': 5, 'b': 2, 'r': 2, 'c': 1, 'd': 1}

4. Checking if Two Strings are Anagrams

An anagram is when two strings have the same characters in a different order.

Code-

def are_anagrams(s1, s2):


return sorted(s1) == sorted(s2)

print(are_anagrams("listen", "silent")) # Output: True


print(are_anagrams("hello", "world")) # Output: False

5. Finding the Longest Common Substring

You can use dynamic programming to find the longest common substring between two strings.

Code-

def longest_common_substring(s1, s2):


m, n = len(s1), len(s2)
dp = [[0] * (n + 1) for _ in range(m + 1)]
length, end = 0, 0

for i in range(1, m + 1):


for j in range(1, n + 1):
if s1[i - 1] == s2[j - 1]:
dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1
if dp[i][j] > length:
length = dp[i][j]
end = i
return s1[end - length: end]

print(longest_common_substring("abcde", "abfde"))
# Output: "ab"

6. Splitting and Joining Strings

To split a string into a list of substrings based on a delimiter, use split(). To join a list of
strings back into a single string, use join().

Code-

s = "apple,banana,cherry"
split_s = s.split(",")
print(split_s) # Output: ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

joined_s = "-".join(split_s)
print(joined_s) # Output: "apple-banana-cherry"

7. Finding Substring Occurrences

To find all occurrences of a substring in a string, you can use find() or a loop:

Code-

s = "abracadabra"
substring = "abra"
index = s.find(substring)
while index != -1:
print(f"Found at index: {index}")
index = s.find(substring, index + 1)

8. Replacing Substrings

You can replace all occurrences of a substring using the replace() method.

Code-

s = "abracadabra"
new_s = s.replace("abra", "xyz")
print(new_s)

# Output: "xyzcadxyz"

9. Checking for Substring

To check if a string contains another string, use the in keyword.

Code-

s = "hello world"
print("world" in s) # Output: True
print("python" in s) # Output: False
