STRINGS

• String is data type that stores a sequence of characters.


• String is the collection of the characters surrounded by single quotes, double quotes, or
triple quotes.
• The computer does not understand the characters directly; instead, they process and
store all data as binary (0s and 1s).
CREATING STRING IN PYTHON
#Using single quotes

str1 = 'Hello Python'

print(str1)

#Using double quotes

str2 = "Hello Python"

print(str2)

#Using triple quotes

str3 = '''Triple quotes are generally used for

represent the multiline or

docstring'''

print(str3)
OPERATION ON STRINGS

• Concatenation:
“Hello” + “world” = “Helloworld”
• Length of a String:
• fruit = “Mango”
• len1 = len(fruit)
• print(“Mango is a” , len1 , “letter word.”)
INDEXING

H E L L O
0 1 2 3 4

str = “HELLO”
str[0] is ‘H’ , str[1] is ‘L’ ……
SLICING

• Accessing parts of a string


str[ starting_idx : ending_idx ] #ending idx is not included

str = “Damini”
str[ 1 : 3 ] is “am”
str[ : 3 ] is same as str[ 0 : 3]
str[ 1 : ] is same as str[ 1 : len(str) ]
#Negative index:

A P P L E
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1

str = “APPLE”
str[ -3 : -1 ] is “PL”

EXAMPLE:
fruit = “apple”
len1 = lan(fruit)
print(len1)
LOOP THROUGH A STRING

alphabets = "String is data type that stores a sequence of characters."


for i in alphabets:
print(i)
