String

String – String represents group of characters. Strings are enclosed in double quotes or
single quotes. The str data type represents a String.
Ex:- “Hello”, “GeekyShows”, ‘Rahul’
str1 = “GeekyShows”
Creating String
Single Quotes
String type variable
str1 = ‘GeekyShows’

Double quotes
str2 = “GeekyShows” str1 = ‘GeekyShows’

Triple Single Quotes – This is useful to create strings which span into several lines.
str3 = ‘‘‘ Hello Guys
String
Please Subscribe
Geekyshows’’’

Triple Double Quotes – This is useful to create strings which span into several lines.
str4 = “““Hello Guys
Please Subscribe
Geekyshows ”””
Creating String
Double Quote inside Single Quotes
str5 = ‘Hello “Geeky Shows” How are you’

Single Quote inside Double quotes


str6 = “Hello ‘Geeky Shows’ How are you”

Using Escape Characters


str7 = “Hello \nHow are You ?”

Raw String – Row string is used to nullify the effect of escape characters.
str8 = r“Hello \nHow are You ?”
Memory Allocation
str1 = “GeekyShows” str2 = “GeekyShows” str3 = “Python”
str1 str2 str3
GeekyShows GeekyShows Python
121145 125365 126955

str4 = str3
str4
Python
125395
Memory Allocation
str1 = “GeekyShows” str1 = “Python”
str1 str1
GeekyShows Python
121145 125365

Since value “GeekyShows” becomes unreferenced object,


it is removed by garbage collector.
Index
Index represents the position number of characters in a string.
Ex:-
str1 = “GeekyShows”
str1

[-10] [-9] [-8] [-7] [-6] [-5] [-4] [-3] [-2] [-1]
G e e k y S h o w s
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

str1
Accessing Character and String
str1 = “GeekyShows”
[-10] [-9] [-8] [-7] [-6] [-5] [-4] [-3] [-2] [-1]
G e e k y S h o w s
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
print(str1[0])
print(str1[1])
print(str1[2])
print(str1[3])
print(str1[-1])

print(str1)
String Length
Length of string represents the number of characters in a string.
len( ) Function is used to get length of string.
Ex:-
str1 = “GeekyShows”
n = len(str1)
Access using Loop
str1 = “GeekyShows”
for c in str1:
print(c)

for i range(len(str1)):
print(str1[i])

i=0
while i < len(str1) :
print(str1[i])
i+=1
Mutable and Immutable Object
• Mutable Object – Mutable objects are those object whose value or content
can be changed as and when required.
Ex:- List, Set, Dictionaries

• Immutable Object – Immutable objects are those object whose value or


content can not be changed.
Ex:- Numbers, String, Tuple
Immutable String
In Python, Strings are immutable object which means it’s value or content can
not be changed.
str1 = “GeekyShows”
[-10] [-9] [-8] [-7] [-6] [-5] [-4] [-3] [-2] [-1]
G e e k y S h o w s
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

str1[4] =“i”
TypeError
Slicing String
Slicing on String can be used to retrieve a piece of the string. Slicing is useful
to retrieve a range of elements.
Syntax:-
new_string_name = string_name[start:stop:stepsize]
• start – It represents starting point. By default its 0
• stop – It represents ending point.
• stepsize – It represents step interval. By default It is 1
• If start and stop are not specified then slicing is done from 0 th to n-1th
elements.
• Start and Stop can be negative number.
Repetition Operator
Repetition operator is used to repeat the string for several times. It is denoted
by *
Ex:-
“$” * 7

str1 = “Geeky Shows ”


str1 * 5
Concatenation Operator
Concatenation operator is used to join two string. It is denoted by +
Ex:-
“Geeky” + “Shows”

str1 = “Geeky ”
str2 = “Shows”
str1 + str2
Comparing String
str1 = “GeekyShows”
str2 = “GeekyShows” Operators Meaning
result = str1 == str2 < Less than
> Greater than
str1 = “GeekyShows” <= Less than or equal to
>= Greater than or equal to
str2 = “Python”
== Equal to
result = str1 == str2
!= Not equal to

str1 = “A”
str2 = “B”
result = str1 < str2
