Python Strings – Easy & Detailed Notes

1. Python Strings
What is a String?
A string is a sequence of characters enclosed inside:
Single Quotes ' '
Double Quotes " "
Triple Quotes ''' ''' or """ """

Examples

Python Run

name = "Rahul"
city = 'Delhi'
course = """Python Programming"""

Output:

Rahul
Delhi
Python Programming

Why are Strings Important?

Example

Python Run

username = "Admin"
password = "abc123"
email = "abc@[Link]"

String Characteristics
Ordered
Immutable (Cannot be changed directly)
Indexed
Allows duplicate characters

Example

Python Run

text = "Python"

Index Position

P y t h o n
0 1 2 3 4 5

Negative Index

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

Accessing Characters

Python Run

text = "Python"

print(text[0])
print(text[2])
print(text[-1])
Output

P
t
n

Length of String
Use len()

Python Run

text = "Python"

print(len(text))

Output

Loop Through String

Python Run

text = "Python"

for i in text:
print(i)

Output

P
y
t
h
o
n

Check String
Use in

Python Run

text = "Python Programming"

print("Python" in text)

Output

True

Check Not Present

Python Run

text = "Python"

print("Java" not in text)

Output

True

2. Slicing Strings
Syntax

Python Run

string[start:end]

The end position is not included.

Example

Python Run

text = "Python"
 print(text[0:4])

Output

Pyth

Slice From Beginning

Python Run

text = "Python"

print(text[:4])

Output

Pyth

Slice To End

Python Run

text = "Python"

print(text[2:])

Output

thon

Negative Slicing

Python Run

text = "Python"

print(text[-4:-1])

Output
 tho

Step Value
Syntax

Python Run

string[start:end:step]

Example

Python Run

text = "Python"

print(text[0:6:2])

Output

Pto

Reverse String

Python Run

text = "Python"

print(text[::-1])

Output

nohtyP

3. Modify Strings
Strings are immutable.

Instead of changing the original string, Python creates a new one.

Python Run

text = "python"

print([Link]())

Output

PYTHON

Lower Case

Python Run

text = "PYTHON"

print([Link]())

Output

python

Remove Spaces

Python Run

text = " Python "

print([Link]())

Output

Python

Replace
 Python Run

text = "Hello World"

print([Link]("World", "Python"))

Output

Hello Python

Split String

Python Run

text = "Apple,Banana,Mango"

print([Link](","))

Output

['Apple', 'Banana', 'Mango']

Capitalize

Python Run

text = "python programming"

print([Link]())

Output

Python programming

Title

Python Run

text = "python programming"

Output

Python Programming

4. Concatenate Strings
Joining two or more strings.

Using +

Python Run

first = "Python"
second = "Programming"

print(first + second)

Output

PythonProgramming

Add Space

Python Run

print(first + " " + second)

Output

Python Programming

Using +=

Python Run
 text = "Hello"

text += " World"

print(text)

Output

Hello World

Using join()

Python Run

words = ["I", "Love", "Python"]

print(" ".join(words))

Output

I Love Python

5. Format Strings
Formatting inserts variables inside a string.

Old Method

Python Run

name = "Rahul"

print("Hello %s" % name)

Output

Hello Rahul
format()

Python Run

name = "Rahul"
age = 22

print("My name is {} and I am {} years old.".format(name, age))

Output

My name is Rahul and I am 22 years old.

Index Formatting

Python Run

print("{1} {0}".format("Python", "Learn"))

Output

Learn Python

f-Strings (Recommended)
Python 3.6+

Python Run

name = "Rahul"
age = 22

print(f"My name is {name}.")

Output

My name is Rahul.
I am 22 years old.
Expression in f-String

Python Run

price = 100
qty = 5

print(f"Total = {price * qty}")

Output

Total = 500

6. Escape Characters
Used when special characters need to appear inside strings.

Single Quote

Python Run

print('It\'s Python')

Output

It's Python

Double Quote

Python Run

print("He said \"Hello\"")

Output

He said "Hello"

Backslash
 Python Run

print("C:\\Users\\Admin")

Output

C:\Users\Admin

New Line

Python Run

print("Hello\nWorld")

Output

Hello
World

Tab Space

Python Run

print("Python\tJava")

Output

Python Java

Carriage Return

Python Run

print("Hello\rWorld")

Output (terminal-dependent)

World
Backspace

Python Run

print("Python\b")

Deletes one character before the cursor (behavior depends on the output environment).

Common Escape Characters

\' Single Quote

\" Double Quote

\\ Backslash

\n New Line

\t Tab

\r Carriage Return

\b Backspace

Exam Tips
Remember that strings are immutable—methods like replace() , upper() , and
strip() return a new string instead of modifying the original.
Be comfortable with indexing ( text[0] , text[-1] ) and slicing
( text[start:end:step] ), especially reversing a string with text[::-1] .
Prefer f-strings for formatting because they are the most readable and commonly
used in modern Python.
Know the difference between find() (returns -1 if not found) and index() (raises
an error if not found).
Practice common string methods such as upper() , lower() , replace() , split() ,
join() , startswith() , endswith() , and count() , as they are frequently used in
coding interviews and exams.
