TRAVERSING A STRING:
(A) String Traversal Using for Loop:
>>> str1 = 'Hello World!'
>>> for ch in str1:
print(ch,end = '')

>Hello World! #output of for loop


In the above code, the loop starts from the first character of
the string str1 and automatically ends when the last
character is accessed.
(B) String Traversal Using while Loop:
>>> str1 = 'Hello World!'
>>> index = 0
#len(): a function to get length of string
>>> while index < len(str1):
print(str1[index],end = '')
index += 1

Hello World! #output of while loop


Here while loop runs till the condition index < len(str) is
True, where index varies from 0 to len(str1) -1.

STRING METHODS AND BUILT-IN FUNCTIONS:


HANDLING STRINGS:
#Program 8-1
#Function to reverse a string

def reverseString(st):
newstr = '' #create a new string
length = len(st)
for i in range(-1,-length-1,-1):
newstr += st[i]
return newstr
#end of function
st = input("Enter a String: ")
st1 = reverseString(st)
print("The original String is:",st)
print("The reversed String is:",st1)

Output:
Enter a String: Hello World
The original String is: Hello World
The reversed String is: dlroW olleH

#Program 8-2
#Function to count the number of times a character occurs
in a
#string

def charCount(ch,st):
count = 0
for character in st:
if character == ch:
count += 1
return count
#end of function
st = input("Enter a string: ")
ch = input("Enter the character to be searched: ")
count = charCount(ch,st)
print("Number of times character",ch,"occurs in the string
is:",count)

Output:
Enter a string: Today is a Holiday
Enter the character to be searched: a
Number of times character a occurs in the string is: 3

#Program 8-3
#Function to replace all vowels in the string with '*'

def replaceVowel(st):
newstr = '' ''
for character in st:
#check if next character is a vowel
if character in 'aeiouAEIOU':
#Replace vowel with *
newstr += '*'
else:
newstr += character
return newstr
#end of function
st = input("Enter a String: ")
st1 = replaceVowel(st)
print("The original String is:",st)
print("The modified String is:",st1)
Output:
Enter a String: Hello World
The original String is: Hello World
The modified String is: H*ll* W*rld

Program8-4:
#Program to display string in reverse order
st = input("Enter a string: ")
for i in range(-1,-len(st)-1,-1):
print(st[i],end='')

Output:
Enter a string: Hello World
dlroW olleH
