A string is a:
� Sequence of characters
� Sequence of “pure” unicode characters (there is no specific encoding like UTF-8)

[1]: str1="Hello world"


str2='new year'
str3=""" welcome """
str4=''' hi to all '''

[2]: print(str1)
print(str2)
print(str3)
print(str4)

Hello world
new year
welcome
hi to all
Concatenation
Strings can be glued together (concatenated) with the + operator.

[4]: str5="Hello"
str6="World"
print(str5+str6)

HelloWorld

[6]: "New"+" Year"

[6]: 'New Year'

[8]: "Happy"+' to'+""" see """+''' you '''

[8]: 'Happy to see you '

Repetition
Strings can be repeated or repeatedly concatenated with the asterisk operator ”*”.

[12]: print(str5*3)

HelloHelloHello

[13]: print("Repitition"*4)

RepititionRepititionRepititionRepitition
Indexing
A string can be indexed using index() method.

[14]: str7="Welcome to String Operations"


print(str7)

Welcome to String Operations

[15]: print(str7.index("c"))

[16]: print(str7.index("S"))
print(str7.index("n"))
print(str7.index("O"))

A string in Python:
� Consists of a series of characters such as letters, numbers, and special characters
� Can be subscripted or indexed (Similar to C, the first character of a string in Python has the
index 0.)

[17]: str8="Subscripted Variable"


print(str8)

Subscripted Variable

[24]: print(str8[0])
print(str8[len(str8)-1])
print(str8[-2])
print(str8[6])

e
l

[26]: print("welcome"[2:4])
print("hello to all"[4:8])

lc
o to

[30]: str9="string using step size"


print(str9[2:10:2])
print(str9[-2:-10:-1])

rn s
zis pets

[32]: str10="upper case"


str11="LOWER CASE"
print(str10.upper())
print(str11.lower())

UPPER CASE
lower case
The startswith() method returns True if a string starts with the specified prefix(string). Else, it
returns False.
[34]: str12="string starts with demo"
print(str12.startswith("string"))
print(str12.endswith("hello"))

True
False
The split() method breaks up a string at the specified separator and returns a list of strings.

[40]: str13="String with space separator"


str14="String,with,comma,separator"
str13.split(" ")

[40]: ['String', 'with', 'space', 'separator']

[41]: str14.split(",")

[41]: ['String', 'with', 'comma', 'separator']

Python strings cannot be changed as change in indexed position will raise an error.
[42]: str14="strings can't be modified"
print(str14)

strings can't be modified

[43]: str14[10]='a'

[44]: str15="this is replace demo"


print(str15)

this is replace demo

[45]: str16=str15.replace("demo","operation")
print(str16)

this is replace operation

[46]: First_Name="string operations"


print(First_Name.capitalize())

String operations

[48]: strip_string=" welcome to strip operations "

[49]: strip_string.strip()

[49]: 'welcome to strip operations'

[50]: strip_string.lstrip()

[50]: 'welcome to strip operations '

[51]: strip_string.rstrip()

[51]: ' welcome to strip operations'
