Answer – ‘xoxo love xoxo’
E.g string = 'android is awesome'
print(string.strip('an'))
Answer – driod is awesome (an removed from beginning)
lstrip()-method returns a copy of the string with leading characters removed (based on
the string argument passed).
E.g str = ‘ this is good '
# Leading whitepsace are removed
print(str.lstrip()) Answer – ‘this is good ‘
e.g website = 'https://www.programiz.com/'
print(website.lstrip('https://'))
Answer- ‘www.programiz.com’

rstrip() -method returns a copy of the string with trailing characters removed (based on
the string argument passed).
E.g str1 = ' this is good ‘
Str1.rstrip() returns
' this is good’
partition() -method splits the string at the first occurrence of the argument string and returns a
tuple containing the part the before separator, argument string and the part after the
separator.
E.g string = "Python is fun"
print(string.partition('is '))
Output -('Python ', 'is ', 'fun')
string.partition('not ')
Output-('Python is fun', ‘ ‘, ‘ ’) # 'not' separator is not found
join() - returns a string comprising elements of the sequence separated by the delimiter
E.g ‘ > ’,join( [ ‘ a ’ , ’ n ’ , ’ b ’] returns output ‘a>n>b ’
e.g numList = ['1', '2', '3', '4’] and seperator = ', ‘
print(seperator.join(numList))
output is ‘1, 2, 3, 4 ’
E.g s1 = 'abc’ s2 = '123’
s1.join(s2))
output - 1abc2abc3 """ Each character of s2 is concatenated to the front of s1"""
isspace()- -method returns True if there are only whitespace characters in the string. If
not, it return False.
E.g
s = '\t'
print(s.isspace())
-Answer True
s='a'
print(s.isspace())
Answer False
s = ''
print(s.isspace())
Answer False
isalpha()-method returns True if all characters in the string are alphabets.
If not, it returns False.
E.g 1 name = "Monica"
print(name.isalpha())-evaluates to True
Eg-2 name = "Monica Geller"
print(name.isalpha())
Answer -False(space is not aphabet)
# Eg -3
name = "Mo3nicaGell22er"
print(name.isalpha())
Answer -False contains digits
isdigit()-method returns True if all characters in a string are digits. If not, it returns False.

print(s.isdigit()) -Answer –True
S=’12abx’
S.isdigit() -Answer- False

isalnum()-returns True if all characters in the string are alphanumeric (either alphabets or numbers).
If not, it returns False. E.g
name = "M234onica"
print(name.isalnum())
Answer -True
name = "M3onica Gell22er "
print(name.isalnum())
Answer -False # contains whitespace
startswith()-method returns True if a string starts with the specified prefix(string). If not, it
returns False.
text = "Python is easy to learn."
result = text.startswith('is easy')
# returns False
result = text.startswith('Python is ')
# returns True
endswith()- method returns True if a string ends with the specified suffix. If not, it returns False.
E.g text = "Python is easy to learn."
result = text.endswith('to learn')
print(result)
# returns False (as fullstop at end missing in string specified with endswith)
result = text.endswith('to learn.')
# returns True
encode()-returns string s in encoding form based on the given encoding

s.decode()- returns the decoded string s, based on the given encoding scheme
string = 'pythön!’
print('The string is:', string)
# default encoding to utf-8
s1= string.encode()
# print result
print('The encoded version is:',s1)

s2=s1.decode()
print("Decoded string is",s2)

Output
The string is: pythön!
The encoded version is:
b'pyth\xc3\xb6n!’
Decoded string is pythön!
