String Notes

The document provides an overview of strings in Python, describing them as immutable collections of characters that can be represented using single or double quotes. It details various string methods and operations, including length calculation, character comparison, concatenation, and slicing, along with examples for each. Additionally, it covers built-in methods to check string properties such as case, numeric values, and whitespace.

Strings:

=========
- String linear data structure in Python.
- Collection of characters is known as String.
- String are group of characters.
- In python, we can represent string using either single or double quotation.
- String are immutable, it means once it is created you cannot change it later.
- String can have positive and negative indexes.
- Positive index should begin with 0 and end with size-1.
- Negative index should start with -1 from last character.
- Predefined class for string is 'str'.
- Example:
str1="Hello VJTech";
print(str1);
str2='Hello World';
print(str2);
print("Class of str1 variable=",type(str1));

- str is a predefined class.


- we can create string object using constructor of str class.
s1=str(); #empty string object s1
s2=str("VJTech");#Creates string object for VJTech

Methods:
---------
1) len() - It will return the no of characters in a string.
- Example:
s1="VJTech";
print("Length of string=",len(s1));
- Output:
Length of string= 6

2) min() - It returns smallest character in a string. It will consider ASCII value.


- Example:
s1="VJTech";
print("Smallest character =",min(s1));
- Output:
Smallest character = J

3) max() - It returns largest character in a string. It will consider ASCII value.


- Example:
s1="VJTech";
print("Smallest character =",min(s1));
- Output:
Largest character = h

4) del() - We can delete entire string using del keyword.


- Example:
s1="VJTech";
del s1;
print(s1);
- Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 3, in <module>
print(s1);
NameError: name 's1' is not defined

5) + Operator - The concatenation operator(+) is used to join two strings.


- Example:
s1="VJTech";
s2="Academy";
s3=s1+s2;
print(s3);
- Output:
Concatenated String: VJTechAcademy

6) * Operator - The multiplication(*) operator is used to concatenate the same


string multiple times. It is called as repetition operator.
- Example:
s1="VJTech";
print(s1*5);
- Output:
VJTechVJTechVJTechVJTechVJTech

7) String Traversal - Traversal is a process in which we caccess all the elements


of the string one by one.

- Example:
s1="VJTech";
for i in s1:
print(i,end="");

- Output:
VJTech

8) String slicing- We can retrive piece or subset of given string using slicing
operation.
StringName[start_index:end_index]
- Example:
s1="VJTech";
print(s1[2:6]);

- Output:
Tech

8) capitalize()- Makes the first letter of the string capital.

- Example:
s1="vjtech academy";
print(s1.capitalize());

- Output:
Vjtech academy

9) islower()- it will return true if all characters of the string in lower case
letter otherwise it will return false.

- Example:
s1="vjtech academy";
print(s1.islower());

- Output:
True

9) isupper()- it will return true if all characters of the string in upper case
letter otherwise it will return false.

- Example:
s1="VJTECH";
print(s1.isupper());

- Output:
True

10) isnumeric()- it will return true if it contains numberic values otherwise it


will return false.

- Example:
s1="12345";
print(s1.isnumeric());

- Output:
True

11) isspace()- it will return true if it contains only white spaces otherwise it
will return false.

- Example:
s1=" ";
print(s1.isspace());

- Output:
True

12) isdigits()- it will return true if it contains only digits otherwise it will
return false.

- Example:
s1="12345";
print(s1.isdigits());

- Output:
True

13) isalpha()- it will return true if it contains only alphabets otherwise it will
return false.

- Example:
s1="vjtech";
print(s1.isalpha());

- Output:
True

14) isalnum()- it will return true if it contains alphabets and numbers otherwise
it will return false.

- Example:
s1="vjtech123";
print(s1.isalnum());

- Output:
True
