Strings
21 April 2025 22:44

Theory: Strings are sequences of characters enclosed in single quotes


('), double quotes ("), or triple quotes (''' or """).
String Operations:
• Concatenation: Using + operator
• Repetition: Using * operator
• Indexing: Accessing characters by position
• Slicing: Accessing a range of characters
String Immutability: Strings in Python are immutable, meaning once
created, their content cannot be changed.
Escape Sequences:
• \n: Newline
• \t: Tab
• \\: Backslash
• \': Single quote
• \": Double quote
• \r: Carriage return
• \b: Backspace
Formatted Strings:
• f-strings: f"Value: {variable}"
• [Link](): "Value: {}".format(variable)
• %-formatting: "Value: %s" % variable
String Methods:
• upper(): Convert to uppercase
• lower(): Convert to lowercase
• strip(): Remove whitespace
• replace(): Replace substrings
• split(): Split string into list
• join(): Join list elements into string
• find(): Find substring position
• count(): Count occurrences of substring

Exercise 6: String Manipulation

python
# 1. Create a string with your full name
# 2. Print your initials using indexing
# 3. Create a multiline string with your favorite quote
# 4. Use string formatting to create a sentence with variables
# 5. Use three different string methods on your name
Solution:

python
# 1. Full name string
full_name = "John Alexander Smith"

# 2. Print initials
initials = full_name[0] + full_name[full_name.find("Alexander")] +
full_name[full_name.find("Smith")]
print(f"Initials: {initials}") # JAS

# 3. Multiline quote
quote = """To be or not to be,
that is the question.
- William Shakespeare"""
print(quote)

# 4. String formatting
age = 25
occupation = "developer"
formatted_str = f"My name is {full_name}, I am {age} years old,
and I work as a {occupation}."
print(formatted_str)

# 5. String methods
print(full_name.upper()) # JOHN ALEXANDER SMITH
print(full_name.lower()) # john alexander smith
print(full_name.replace("John", "Johnny")) # Johnny Alexander
Smith
