String Methods

.strip() - Removes whitespace from start and end

name = " Zara "

print(name.strip()) # "Zara"

.split() - Splits a string into a list by spaces or separator

data = "a,b,c"

print(data.split(",")) # ['a', 'b', 'c']

.join() - Joins a list into a string

words = ["Hello", "world"]

print(" ".join(words)) # "Hello world"

.lower() / .upper() - Convert string to lower or upper case

print("Ali".lower()) # "ali"

print("Ali".upper()) # "ALI"

List Methods

.append(item) - Adds item to end of list

myList = [1, 2]

myList.append(3) # [1, 2, 3]

.pop(index) - Removes item at index

myList.pop(0) # Removes first item

.sort() / sorted() - Sort list or return sorted copy

nums = [3, 1, 2]

nums.sort() # [1, 2, 3]

print(sorted(nums)) # [1, 2, 3]

File Handling

Reading from a file:

with open("file.txt", "r") as file:

for line in file:

print(line.strip())

Writing to a file:

with open("file.txt", "w") as file:

file.write("Hello\n")

Appending to a file:

with open("file.txt", "a") as file:

file.write("More text\n")

Defensive Programming & Validation

.isdigit() - Check if input is a number

if age.isdigit():

Try/Except - Handle errors safely

try:

num = int(input("Enter number: "))

except ValueError:

print("Invalid input")

Loop until valid input:

word = input("Enter 2-letter word: ")

while len(word) != 2:

word = input("Try again: ")

Practice Questions

1. Ask the user to input 5 numbers. Save them in a list and display the average.

2. Open a file called "scores.txt" and read each line, then print it in uppercase.

3. Validate that a user's input is exactly 2 characters long and alphabetic.

4. Write a program that reads comma-separated numbers from a file and prints the sum for each line.

5. Use .split(), .strip(), and .join() in a mini program that formats names from a file.
