format() Method

----------------------
Insert the price inside the placeholder, the price should be in fixed point, two-
decimal format:

txt = "For only {price:.4f} dollars!"


print(txt.format(price = 49))

The Placeholders
----------------------
The placeholders can be identified using named indexes {price}, numbered indexes
{0}, or even empty placeholders {}.

Example
Using different placeholder values:

txt1 = "My name is {fname}, I'm {age}".format(fname = "John", age = 36)


txt2 = "My name is {0}, I'm {1}".format("John",36)
txt3 = "My name is {}, I'm {}".format("John",36)
print(txt1)
print(txt2)
print(txt3)

index() Method
--------------------
Where in the text is the word "welcome"?:

txt = "Hello, welcome to my world."


x = txt.index("welcome")
print(x)

Syntax
string.index(value, start, end)

Parameter Description
value Required. The value to search for
start Optional. Where to start the search. Default is 0
end Optional. Where to end the search. Default is to the end of the string
Example
Where in the text is the first occurrence of the letter "e"?:
txt = "Hello, welcome to my world."
x = txt.index("e")
print(x)

Example
Where in the text is the first occurrence of the letter "e" when you only search
between position 5 and 10?:

txt = "Hello, welcome to my world."


x = txt.index("e", 5, 10)
print(x)

Example
If the value is not found, the find() method returns -1, but the index() method
will raise an exception:

txt = "Hello, welcome to my world."


print(txt.find("q"))
print(txt.index("q"))
isalnum() Method
-----------------------
Check if all the characters in the text are alphanumeric:

txt = "Company12"
x = txt.isalnum()
print(x)

txt = "Company 12"


x = txt.isalnum()
print(x)

String isalpha() Method


------------------------------
Check if all the characters in the text are letters:

txt = "CompanyX"
x = txt.isalpha()
print(x)

The isalpha() method returns True if all the characters are alphabet letters (a-z).

Example of characters that are not alphabet letters: (space)!#%&? etc.

isascii() Method
---------------------
Check if all the characters in the text are ascii characters:

txt = "Company123"
x = txt.isascii()
print(x)

The isascii() method returns True if all the characters are ascii characters (a-
z).

isdecimal() Method
------------------------
Check if all the characters in a string are decimals (0-9):

txt = "1234"
x = txt.isdecimal()
print(x)

isdigit() Method
---------------------
Check if all the characters in the text are digits:

txt = "50800"
x = txt.isdigit()
print(x)

The isdigit() method returns True if all the characters are digits, otherwise
False.

Exponents, like ², are also considered to be a digit.

islower() Method
----------------------
Check if all the characters in the text are in lower case:

txt = "hello world!"


x = txt.islower()
print(x)

Check if all the characters in the texts are in lower case:

a = "Hello world!"
b = "hello 123"
c = "mynameisPeter"
print(a.islower())
print(b.islower())
print(c.islower())

isspace() Method
----------------------
The isspace() method returns True if all the characters in a string are
whitespaces, otherwise False.

txt = " s "


x = txt.isspace()
print(x)

isupper() Method
-----------------------
Check if all the characters in the text are in upper case:

txt = "THIS IS NOW!"


x = txt.isupper()
print(x)

join() Method
-------------------
Join all items in a tuple into a string, using a hash character as separator:

myTuple = ("John", "Peter", "Vicky")


x = "#".join(myTuple)
print(x)

Join all items in a dictionary into a string, using the word "TEST" as separator:

myDict = {"name": "John", "country": "Norway"}


mySeparator = "TEST"
x = mySeparator.join(myDict)
print(x)

ljust() Method
------------------
The ljust() method will left align the string, using a specified character (space
is default) as the fill character.

Using the letter "O" as the padding character:

txt = "banana"
x = txt.ljust(20, "O")

3 - everything after the "match"

txt = "I could eat bananas all day"


x = txt.partition("bananas")
print(x)

zfill() Method

The zfill() method adds zeros (0) at the beginning of the string, until it reaches
the specified length.

If the value of the len parameter is less than the length of the string, no filling
is done.

Fill the strings with zeros until they are 10 characters long:
a = "hello"
b = "welcome to the jungle"
c = "10.000"

print(a.zfill(10))
print(b.zfill(10))
print(c.zfill(10))

upper()
---------
The upper() method returns a string where all characters are in upper case.

Symbols and Numbers are ignored.

txt = "Hello my friends"

print(x)

swapcase() Method
-------------------------

print(x)

strip() Method

startswith() Method

breaks.
