Introduction
• A String is a data structure that represents a sequence of characters.
• String is an immutable data type
• Strings are used such as storing and manipulating text data
like names, addresses
• other types of data that can be represented as text.
Creating, Initializing and Accessing Elements of a
String
• Strings can be created using single, double, triple quotes.
• Individual characters of a String can be accessed by using Indexing.
• Negative indexing to access characters from the back of the String,
Escape sequence
• Escape sequences is to represent certain special characters within string
literals.
• \- put single apostrophe
• \n-to move next line
• \\-to put single backslash between the string
• \b-remove the space between string
Contd..
• \x- to convert hexa value into a string.
Topics & Subtopics:
• Slicing - String slicing
• Immutability -Python Strings are “immutable”,
• Built-in String methods and functions- String Operations, String Functions
versus String Methods, Checking for a Palindrome
Slicing - String slicing
• String slicing is fetching a substring from a given string
• slicing can be done from a ‘start’ index until a ‘stop’ index.
• slice()
• It is a method
• Creates a ‘slice’ object that contains a set of ‘start’ & ‘stop’ indices and step
values.
• slice(stop) // takes start as 0 & step as 1
• slice (start, stop, step)
