Basic Python String Syntax and Operations

1. String Syntax
Syntax:
'single quoted string'
"double quoted string"
'''triple quoted
multiline string'''
"""another multiline
string"""

Explanation:

- Strings in Python are sequences of Unicode characters.

- They can be enclosed in single, double, or triple quotes.

- Triple quotes allow multiline strings.

Example:
s1 = 'Hello'
s2 = "World"
s3 = '''This is
a multiline string'''

2. Common String Methods


Explanation:

- String methods are built-in functions used to perform operations on strings.

- Strings are immutable; methods return new strings without changing the original.

1. upper()
Explanation: Converts all characters to uppercase.

Example:
s = 'hello'
print([Link]()) # Output: 'HELLO'

2. lower()
Explanation: Converts all characters to lowercase.

Example:
s = 'HELLO'
print([Link]()) # Output: 'hello'
3. capitalize()
Explanation: Capitalizes the first character of the string.

Example:
s = 'python'
print([Link]()) # Output: 'Python'

4. title()
Explanation: Capitalizes the first letter of each word.

Example:
s = 'hello world'
print([Link]()) # Output: 'Hello World'

5. strip()
Explanation: Removes leading and trailing spaces.

Example:
s = ' hello '
print([Link]()) # Output: 'hello'

6. replace()
Explanation: Replaces a substring with another.

Example:
s = 'apple'
print([Link]('a', 'A')) # Output: 'Apple'

7. find()
Explanation: Returns the index of first occurrence of a substring.

Example:
s = 'banana'
print([Link]('a')) # Output: 1

8. count()
Explanation: Counts the number of times a substring appears.

Example:
s = 'banana'
print([Link]('a')) # Output: 3

9. split()
Explanation: Splits string into a list by delimiter (default space).
Example:
s = 'a b c'
print([Link]()) # Output: ['a', 'b', 'c']

10. join()
Explanation: Joins elements of a list into a string.

Example:
lst = ['a', 'b', 'c']
print('-'.join(lst)) # Output: 'a-b-c'

11. startswith()
Explanation: Checks if string starts with a given prefix.

Example:
s = 'hello'
print([Link]('he')) # Output: True

12. endswith()
Explanation: Checks if string ends with a given suffix.

Example:
s = 'hello'
print([Link]('lo')) # Output: True
