What is a String in Python?
A string in Python is a sequence of
characters enclosed within single, double, or
triple quotes.
Examples:
Strings are immutable, meaning
Use once created, their content cannot
Cases: be changed.

Declaration:
Use triple quotes for strings
spanning multiple lines.

String Indexing
Strings in Python are indexed, with the first
character at index 0.
Positive Indexing: Left to right, starting at 0.
Negative Indexing: Right to left, starting at -1.

String Slicing
String slicing allows extracting a portion of a
string using [start:end:step].
Syntax:

String Length
The len() function returns the number of
characters in a string.
Examples:
Includes spaces and special
Key characters.
Notes: Useful for validating user input or
processing strings dynamically.

Checking Substrings
Use in and not in to check for the
presence or absence of substrings.
Examples:
These are useful for conditional
statements and filtering data.

String Formatting
Python provides several ways to format strings:
Using f-strings :
Output
Using format() Method
Using % Operator:

Iterating Through Strings
Strings are iterable, meaning you
can loop through each character.
Examples:
Output
This is useful for character-level processing or
transformations.

String Concatenation
Strings can be concatenated using the +
operator or repeated with the * operator.
Examples:

String Comparison
Strings can be compared using comparison
operators like ==, !=, <, >.
Examples:
Comparisons are case-
sensitive.
Key Notes: Use .lower() or .upper() for
case-insensitive
comparisons.

String Encoding and Decoding
Convert strings to bytes using .encode() and
bytes to strings using .decode().
Examples:
This is useful for handling text in different
formats or file encodings.

Common Errors
with Strings
Strings cann ot be modified
in place.
Immutable
Nature:
Accessing out-of-range
indices.
IndexError:
Mixing strings with non-strings
without conversion.
TypeError:
