15 Jul Python Strings with Examples
Strings in Python are sequences of characters that can be easily created. Python Strings are objects of str class. Let’s see what a string is,
|
1 2 3 |
"My name is Kevin" – This is a string |
Always remember that in Python, single quotes are similar to double quotes. However, triple quotes are also used, but for multi-line string.
Create a String in Python
This is how you can create a string in Python:
|
1 2 3 |
str = 'My name is Kevin!' |
String Literals
In Python Strings, literals are enclosed in single, double quotes, and even triple quotes, for example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
#!/usr/bin/python str1 = 'My name is Kevin!' print (str1) str2 = "My name is Kevin!" print (str2) #multi-line string str3 = """My name is Kevin and I live in New York""" print (str3) |
The output is as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
My name is Kevin! My name is Kevin! My name is Kevin and I live in New York |
Above, under variable str3, you can see the string surrounded by three quotes. This forms the string, multi-line.
Slicing to access Substrings
Access characters in a range with Slicing in Python Strings. Let’s say you only want to access substring “Kevin”, for that, we use square brackets. Mention the start index and the end index, separate by colon, to get substring in a range.
For accessing a substring in Python Strings,
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
myVar = 'My name is Kevin!' print "Here's my name: ", myVar[11:16] |
The output is,
|
1 2 3 |
Here's my name: Kevin |
Negative Indexing to access substrings
If you want to begin slicing from the end of the string, use Negative Indexing. Let us see an example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
str = "This is Demo Text" print("String = ",str) # Negative Indexing print("Accessing substring with negative indexing...") print(str[-4:-2]) print(str[-6:-2]) print(str[-7:-5]) |
The output is as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
String = This is Demo Text Accessing substring with negative indexing... Te o Te mo |
Accessing a Character in Python Strings
Access a Character from Python Strings is quite easy. Let’s say you only want to access substring “s“, for that, we use square brackets. In some programming languages like C, C++, etc, we have a character type. Under Python Strings, we do not have character type, so strings of length one is considered a character.
For accessing a string character,
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
myVar = 'My name is Kevin!' print "Character is: ", myVar[9] |
The output is,
|
1 2 3 |
Character is: s |
Escape Characters in Python Strings
The escape characters are used to insert characters, which are not allowed. Use backslash \, since it is used as an escape character. Follow it by the character to be inserted.
Following are the escape characters used in Python:
Let us now see some examples of the Escape Characters in Python:
Examples of Escape Characters in Python
Following is an example displaying the usage of Escape Characters in Python:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
## Escape Characters # Form Feed str = "This is \fDemo Text" print("String = ",str) # Octal Notation str = '\110' print("Octal Notation = ",str) # Hexadecimal Notation str = '\x57' print("Hexadecimal Notation = ",str) # Tab Notation str = 'Demo\tText' print("Hexadecimal Notation = ",str) |
The output is as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
String = This is Demo Text Octal Notation = H Hexadecimal Notation = W Hexadecimal Notation = Demo Text |
Concatenate String in Python
Use the + operator to concatenate String in Python. Let us see an example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
## Concatenate Strings # String1 str1 = "Money" print("String 1 = ",str1) # String2 str2 = "Heist" print("String 2 = ",str2) # concat res = str1 + str2 print("Complete String = ",res) |
The output is as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
String 1 = Money String 2 = Heist Complete String = MoneyHeist |
String Operators
Python Strings comes with special Operators. Below are these operators, let’s say, we have two variables, with values:
|
1 2 3 4 |
X = Study Y = Now |
Following are the String operators:
Python Built-in String Methods
Let us work on Python Strings Methods:
Python capitalize() method
The capitalize() method in Python, as the name suggests, is used to capitalize (uppercase) only the first letter of sentence. Let us see an example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
# capitalize method str = "captain philips" print("Initial string = ",str); res = str.capitalize() print("Updated string = ",res); |
The output is as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 |
Initial string = captain philips Updated string = Captain philips |
Let us see another example to implement the capitalize() method:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
# capitalize method str = "rON wEASLEY" print("Initial string = ",str); res = str.capitalize() print("Updated string = ",res); |
The output is as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 |
Initial string = rON wEASLEY Updated string = Ron Weasley |
Python casefold() method
The casefold() method in Python is used to convert a string into lowercase. Let us see an example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
# casefold method str = "CAPTAIN PHILIPS" print("Initial string = ",str); res = str.casefold() print("Updated string = ",res); |
The output is as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 |
Initial string = CAPTAIN PHILIPS Updated string = captain philips |
Let us see another example to implement the casefold() method:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
# casefold method str = "Gilderoy Lockhart" print("Initial string = ",str); res = str.casefold() print("Updated string = ",res); |
The output is as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 |
Initial string = Gilderoy Lockhart Updated string = gilderoy lockhart |
Python center() method
The center() method in Python is used to align a string centrally. You can also use any character as a fill character each size, but this is optional. The syntax is as follows:
|
1 2 3 |
string.center(len, char) |
Above, len is the length of the string, whereas, char is the character to filled on left and right side.
Let us see an example to implement the center() method:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
# center method str = "DEMO" print("Initial string = ",str); res = str.center(10,"#") print("Updated string = ",res); |
The output is as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 |
Initial string = DEMO Updated string = ###DEMO### |
Let us see another example to implement the center() method:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
# center method str = "TEST0.1" print("Initial string = ",str); res = str.center(10,"$") print("Updated string = ",res); |
The output is as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 |
Initial string = TEST0.1 Updated string = $TEST0.1$$ |
Python count() method
The count() method in Python is used to search for a specific value and its count of appearance in the string. The syntax is as follows:
|
1 2 3 |
string.count(str, begn, end) |
Above, str is the string, begn is the position to start the search and end is the position to end.
Let us see an example to implement the count() method on Python:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
