STRING MANIPULATION

[Link]. Programs

1. Write a program that asks the user for a string a and a character c ; and then it prints out the
location of each character c in the string s.

Program
s=input("Enter a string : ")
c=input(" enter the character whose location you want to see :")
for i in range(len(s)):
if s[i]==c:
print(i)
Output
Enter a string : Hola amigo
enter the character whose location you want to see :a
3
5

2. Write a program that asks the user for a string and creates a new string that doubles each
character of the original string.

Program
a=input("Enter a string : ")
b=""
for x in a:
b=b+x*2
print("The new string is : ",b)
Output
Enter a string : Pizza
The new string is : PPiizzzzaa

3. Write a program to count the number of times a character occurs in the given string.

Program
str = input("Enter the string: ")
ch = input("Enter the character to count: ");
c = [Link](ch)
print(ch, "occurs", c, "times")
Output
Enter the string: Computer Science
Enter the character to count: e
e occurs 3 times

4. Write a program which replaces all vowels in the string with “*”.
 Program
s = input("Enter the string: ")
n = ""
for i in s :
l = [Link]()
if l == 'a' \
or l == 'e' \
or l == 'i' \
or l == 'o' \
or l == 'u' :
n += '*'
else :
n += i
print(n)

Output
Enter the string: Computer Science
C*mp*t*r Sc**nc*

5. Write a program which reverses a string and stores the reversed string in a new string.

Program
a = input("Enter the string: ")
b = ""
for i in a :
b=i+b
print(b)

Output
Enter the string: "Hello World"
"dlroW olleH"

6. Write a program that prompts for a phone number of 10 digits and two dashes , with dashes
after the area code and the next three numbers.
 Program
phNo = input("Enter the phone number: ")
length = len(phNo)
if length == 12 \
and phNo[3] == "-" \
and phNo[7] == "-" \
and phNo[:3].isdigit() \
and phNo[4:7].isdigit() \
and phNo[8:].isdigit() :
print("Valid Phone Number")
else :
print("Invalid Phone Number")

Output
Enter the phone number: 070-9161-9432
Invalid Phone Number
Enter the phone number: 070-898-9132
Valid Phone Number

7. Write a program that should do the following:

extract all the digits from the string

If there are digits:

Sum the collected digits together

Print out:
Original string the digits the sum of the digits
If there are no digits

Print the original string and a message “has no digits”

Program
str = input("Enter the string: ")
sum = 0
digitStr = ''
for ch in str :
if [Link]() :
digitStr += ch
sum += int(ch)
if not digitStr :
print(str, "has no digits")
else :
print(str, "has the digits", digitStr, "which sum to", sum)
 Output

Enter the string: Computer6532

Computer6532 has the digits 6532 which sum to 16

8. Write a program that should prompt the user to type some sentences followed by “enter”
. It should then print the original sentence and the following statistics relating to the
sentences:
Number of words

Number of characters

Percentage of characters that are alphanumeric

Program
str = input("Enter a few sentences: ")
length = len(str)
spaceCount = 0
alnumCount = 0

for ch in str :
if [Link]() :
spaceCount += 1
elif [Link]() :
alnumCount += 1

alnumPercent = alnumCount / length * 100

print("Original Sentences:")
print(str)

print("Number of words =", (spaceCount + 1))

Enter a few sentences: "Hello my name is Hritwik I am 16 years old"

Original Sentences:

"Hello my name is Hritwik I am 16 years old"

Number of words = 10

Number of characters = 45
 Alphanumeric Percentage = 75.0

9. Write a Python program as per specifications given below:

Upon input of a sentence s , print the string produced from s by converting each lower
case letter to upper case and each upper case letter to lower case.
All other characters are left unchanged.

Program
while True :
str = input("Please enter a sentence, or 'q' to quit : ")
newStr = ""
if [Link]() == "q" :
break
for ch in str :
if [Link]() :
newStr += [Link]()
elif [Link]() :
newStr += [Link]()
else :
newStr += ch
print(newStr)

Output

Please enter a sentence, or 'q' to quit : Computer Science

cOMPUTER sCIENCE

Please enter a sentence, or 'q' to quit : HeLlO

hElLo

Please enter a sentence, or 'q' to quit : q

From the input string extract all the digits, in the order they occurred, from the string.

If no digits occur, set the extracted digits to 0

Add the integer input and the digits extracted from the string together as integers

Print a string of the form :

Program

num = int(input("Enter an integer: "))

str = input("Enter the string: ")

digitsStr = ''

digitsNum = 0;

for ch in str :

if [Link]() :

digitsStr += ch

if digitsStr :

digitsNum = int(digitsStr)

print(num, "+", digitsNum, "=", (num + digitsNum))

Output

Enter an integer: 9

Enter the string: qlpu563

9 + 563 = 572

11. Write a program to convert a given number into equivalent Roman number (store its value
as a string).
 Program
n = int(input("Enter the number: "))
num = (1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1)
rom = ('M', 'CM', 'D', 'CD','C', 'XC','L','XL','X','IX','V','IV','I')

result = ''

for i in range(len(num)) :
count = int(n / num[i])
result += str(rom[i] * count)
n -= num[i] * count

print(result)

Output

Enter the number: 2015

MMXV

12. Write a program that asks the user for a string (only single space between words) and returns
an estimated of how many words are in the string.

Program
str = input("Enter a string: ")
count = 0
for ch in str :
if [Link]() :
count += 1
print("No of words =", (count + 1))

Output
Enter a string: Hello World
No of words = 2

13. Write a program that inputs a line of text and prints out the count of vowels in it.
 Program
str = input("Enter a string: ")
count = 0

for ch in str :
lch = [Link]()
if lch == 'a' \
or lch == 'e' \
or lch == 'i' \
or lch == 'o' \
or lch == 'u' :
count += 1

print("Vowel Count =", count)

Output

Enter a string: computer science

Vowel Count = 6

14. Write a program to input a line of text and print the biggest word from it.

Program
str = input("Enter a string: ")
words = [Link]()
longWord = ''

for w in words :
if len(w) > len(longWord) :
longWord = w

print("Longest Word =", longWord)

Output

Enter a string: "Computer science with Python"

Longest Word = "Computer

15. Write a program to input a line of text and create a new line of text where each word of the
input line is reversed.

Program
a=input("Enter a string : ")
b=[Link]()
c=""
for i in b :
d = ""
for x in i :
 d=x+d
c += d + " "

print(c)
Output
Enter a string : Hello World
olleH dlroW
