String handling

Unlike numbers, strings are more difficult to process.

Strings are always created as a response to the input function – e.g. “How do you feel?”

String features:
1. Changing the case of a string:
You can change the case of a string to either uppercase or lowercase
#Changing a string to upper case #Changing a string to lower case
Message = “wake up” Message = “SHHH, THIS IS A LIBRARY”
upperMessage = Message.upper() lowerMessage = Message.lower()
print(upperMessage) print(lowerMessage)
 String handling

String features:
1. Counting the number of characters in a string.
You can use len() and .count() to count the characters in a string.
length = len(“billabong”) length = len (“Once upon a time”)
print (length) print (length)
Output will be 9 Output will be 16
fruit = (“pineapple”)
letterP = fruit.count(“p”)
print (letterP)
Output will be 3

1. Index and positioning negative indexing starts at the
end.
Python automatically assigned a numerical value to each character’s position in a
string.
Look at the index table below for the string “White Rabbit”.
String W H I T E R A B B I T
Positive 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Index

Negative -12 -11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

Positive 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Negative -12 -11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
Index

You can use indices to slice strings, giving you a substring or single character.

#1 (one letter) #2 (first three letters) #3 (10th letter onward)

string = “white rabbit” string = “white rabbit” string = “white rabbit”
print (string[-5]) print (string[0: 3]) print (string[9:])
Output will be a Output will be whi Output will be bit
