Unit 3 Strings

This document covers the concept of strings in Python, including their properties, operations such as concatenation, slicing, and formatting, as well as built-in functions like ord() and chr(). It explains string immutability, indexing, and comparison methods. Additionally, it introduces string formatting techniques using the % operator, f-strings, and the format() method.

UNIT 3: STRINGS

FE Prof.Bhakti Patil
Syllabus contents

 Strings and its Operations:


 concatenation, appending, multiplication and
slicing. Strings are immutable, strings
formatting operator, built in string methods
and functions.
 Slice operation, ord() and chr() functions, in
and not in operators, comparing strings,
Iterating strings, the string module.
Strings
String is a sequence of zero or more characters.

String may contain alphabets, numbers and special characters.

Usually strings are enclosed within a single quotes and double


quotes.

Strings are immutable data structure.

 Python has built in <class str> to handle strings

 Python don’t have char data type like C/C++

Example: str1=“Hello World”


How to access a string??
 Individual character of a string is
accessed by its index.
 Eg: str1=“Hello”
 str1[0]= “H” and str1[-4]= “E”
Characters H E L L O
in the
string
Forward 0 1 2 3 4
index
Backward -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
index
Slicing, Concatenation,
Repetition
 Slicing is used to extract a part of string
 Slicing operator :
 syntax- str1[start:end:step]
 Concatenation- joining two strings
together
 Concatenation operator + “abc”+”5”
 Multiplication/repetition- print the string
multiple times
 Multiplication operator * “abc”*3
String formatting operators
String formatting operator % is unique to
strings.
•Example:
print("My name is %s and I secured
%d marks in Python in %s sem” %
(“Bhakti”,92,”first”))
Output:
My name is Bhakti and I secured 92 marks
in Python
String formatters
 F-strings-letter ‘f’ precedes the string
and variable are mentioned in { }
 Eg: st1=“pune”
print(f“I like {st1}”)
 Format() method
 Eg: s1=“Python”
print(“I love {}”.format(s1))
 s2= “Java”
print(“I love {} and {}.format(s1,s2))
String functions
Substring functions
ord() and chr() – built in
functions
 Used to convert character into int and
vice versa
 Complementary to each other
 ord() returns unicode value of character
 chr() returns character representing
given unicode value
 Eg: print(ord(‘a’)) ------- 97
print(chr(97)) -------- a
String comparison
We can compare two strings using comparison
operators such as ==, !=, <,<=,>, >=
Python compares strings based on their
corresponding ASCII values.
Example of string comparison

str1="green"
str2="black“

print("Is both Equal:", str1==str2)

print("Is str1> str2:", str1>str2)

print("Is str1< str2:", str1<str2)


Some more functions

isIdentifier() Returns True if the string is a str= “Hello”


valid print(str.isidentifier())
Identifier OUTPUT
True

enumerate(st Returns an enumerate object str = "Hello world“


r) that lists the index and value print(list(enumerate(s
of all the characters in the tr)))
string as pairs
OUTPUT

[ (0, H'), (1, 'e), (2, ‘l'


(3, ‘l’), (4, '0'), (5, ‘ ‘ )
,
(6, 'W'), (7, '0'), (8,
'r‘), (9, ‘l‘), (10, ‘d‘) ]
