Python Strings - Detailed Notes for Grade 11

1. What is a String?

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

2. String Indexing

Each character has a position (index) starting from 0.

Example:

text = "Python"

text[0] -> 'P'

text[-1] -> 'n'

3. String Slicing

Extract parts of a string (substring).

text = "Programming"

text[0:6] -> 'Progra'

text[3:] -> 'gramming'

text[:5] -> 'Progr'

4. String Concatenation

Joining two or more strings.

first = "Hello"

second = "World"

first + " " + second -> 'Hello World'

5. Escape Characters
\n : New line

\t : Tab space

\\ : Backslash

\' : Single quote

\" : Double quote

6. String Formatting

name = "Ali"

age = 17

f"My name is {name} and I am {age} years old."

7. Common String Methods

- len(): Returns number of characters.

len("Python") -> 6

- lower(): Converts to lowercase.

- upper(): Converts to uppercase.

- capitalize(): Capitalizes the first letter.

- title(): Capitalizes each word.

- strip(): Removes spaces from both ends.

- lstrip()/rstrip(): Remove spaces from left/right.

- find(): Returns first index of substring.

- index(): Same as find(), but errors if not found.

- replace(): Replaces a substring.

- count(): Counts occurrences of substring.

- split(): Splits into a list.

- join(): Joins list into a string.


- startswith()/endswith(): Checks beginning/end.

- isalpha(): True if only letters.

- isdigit(): True if only digits.

- isalnum(): True if letters and digits.

- isspace(): True if only whitespace.
