Python String Functions

In Python, a string is an immutable sequence of characters that can be enclosed in single, double, or triple quotes. It supports various operations such as indexing, slicing, and numerous built-in methods for manipulation, including capitalize(), count(), and split(). Common characteristics include being able to check for alphanumeric content, convert cases, and trim spaces.

Python Strings and String Functions

What is a String in Python?

A string is a sequence of characters enclosed in single (' '), double (" "), or triple quotes (''' ''' or """ """).

Characteristics of Strings

- Immutable: Cannot be changed after creation

- Indexed: Supports indexing

- Slicable: Can extract substrings using slicing

Common String Methods

capitalize() - Converts first character to uppercase

casefold() - Converts string to lowercase (stronger than lower)

center(width) - Centers string in a field of given width

count(sub) - Counts occurrences of substring

encode() - Encodes string to bytes

endswith(suffix) - Checks if string ends with the suffix

expandtabs(n) - Sets tab size to n

find(sub) - Returns index of first occurrence of substring

format() - Formats strings using placeholders

index(sub) - Same as find() but raises error if not found

isalnum() - True if all characters are alphanumeric

isalpha() - True if all characters are letters

isdigit() - True if all characters are digits

islower() - True if all letters are lowercase

isupper() - True if all letters are uppercase

isspace() - True if string contains only whitespaces

istitle() - True if string is in title case

join(iterable) - Joins elements of iterable with string

len() - Returns length of string

lower() - Converts to lowercase

upper() - Converts to uppercase

lstrip() - Removes leading spaces

rstrip() - Removes trailing spaces

strip() - Removes spaces from both ends


replace(old, new) - Replaces old substring with new

rfind() - Finds last occurrence of substring

rindex() - Same as rfind() but raises error if not found

split() - Splits string into list

rsplit() - Splits string from the right

splitlines() - Splits string at line breaks

startswith(prefix) - Checks if string starts with prefix

swapcase() - Swaps letter case

title() - Converts first letter of each word to uppercase

zfill(width) - Pads string with zeros on the left
