PYTHON – STRING FUNCTIONS

String:
Set of unicode characters
Includes Letters,Numbers, Special Characters or
combination of these types
Representation
with in single / double/triple single/triple double
quotes
ex: ‘apple’“apple” ‘ ‘apple’’ “““apple”””
‘A140’
Initialization: Syntax: Var_name=‘text’
Ex: Name=“India”
I n d i a
0 1 2 3 5

Accessing : var_name[index]
Str1=“india”
print(str1)
print(str1[3])
print(str1[1:3])
String Operations
• Slicing
– Used to access a range of string
– strvar[start:finish-1]
• Ex: print(str1[1:3]

• Concatenation
– Used to combine the strings
– var-=strvar1+strvar2+….+strvarN
• Replication
– Used to repeat a string N number of times (*)
– Var1=Strvar*N
String Operations
• Escape sequence
– Control characters, not displayed on screen
– Performs specific task
– Used to design the output
– ‘\n’ ‘\a’‘\t’
• Format method
– Used to format / design output
– Syntax: format(value , format specifier)
– Ex:alignment
str1="hai"
print(format(str1,'<20'))
print(format(str1,'>20'))
print(format(str1,'^20'))
String Built in Functions
1. len() len(strvar)
Returns No. of chars
2. capitalize() strvar.capitalize()
Capitalize the string (turn first char into upper case)
3. upper() strvar.upper()
Convert lower case into upper case
4. lower() strvar.lower()
Convert upper case into lower case
5. title() strvar.title()
Convert the string into title case
s1="hai" length=len(s1)
print("\t\t Length is=\t\t",length)
print("\t\tCapital=\t\t",s1.capitalize())
s2="HAI"
print("\t\tLower=\t\t",s2.lower ())
print("\t\tUpperr=\t\t",s1.upper())
s3="i am an indian"
print("\t\tTitle=\t\t",s3.title())
String Built in Functions
1. isalnum() strvar.isalnum()
returns true if the string contains alphabet,numeric
2. isalpha() strvar.isalpha()
returns true if the string contains only alphabet
3. isdigit() strvar.isdigit()
returns true if the string contains only digits
4. isupper() strvar.isupper()
returns true if string is in upper case
5. islower() strvar.islower()
returns true if string is in lower case
s1="A130"
s2="apple"
s3="1234"
print("Alnum\t\t=",s1.isalnum())
print("Alnum\t\t=",s2.isalnum())
print("Alpha\t\t=",s2.isalpha())
print("Alpha\t\t=",s1.isalpha())
print("Digit\t\t=",s1.isdigit())
print("Digit\t\t=",s3.isdigit())
print("Upper=\t\t",s2.isupper())
print("Lower=\t\t",s2.islower())
String Built in Functions
1. istitle()
strvar.count(sub(str))
returns true if string is in title case
2. isspace() strvar.isspace()
returns true if string is a spaec

Ex:
s1="hai Welcome"
print("Title=\t\t",s1.istitle())
print("space=\t\t",s1.isspace())
String Built in Functions
1. count()
strvar.count(substr)
returns total number of occurences of the given sub
string
2. index()
strvar.index(sub[start,end])
returns the lowest index of the substring present in
the string (first occurrence)
String Built in Functions
1. endswith()
strvar.endswith(substr)
strvar.endswith(substr,start,end)
returns a boolean value
True- if strvar ends with the substr
False- otherwise
2. find() strvar.find(substr)
returns the lowest index of the substring (first
occurrence)
3. split() strvar.split(str)
returns the list of all words in the string using str as a
separator
s1="String string String string String"
print(s1.count("string"))
print(s1.count("String"))
print(s1.endswith("string"))
print(s1.endswith("String",0,27))
print(s1.endswith("String",0,35))
print(s1.find("string"))

print(s1.split(' '))
