  INTRODUCTION Initially when westarted of learning about python, we dealt more with numbers, technically integers; But, in our real world, we tend to use a lot of sentences than just numbers. All these so called sentences are what we call “strings”. 5

  DEFINITION 6 ᴓ Python stringis the collection of the characters surrounded by single quotes, double quotes, or triple quotes. ᴓ The computer does not understand the characters; internally, it stores manipulated character as the combination of the 0's and 1’s. ᴓ Unlike some other languages, python doesn’t support char datatype, so strings can be assumed as a list of char. ᴓ Each character is encoded in the ASCII or Unicode character. So we can say that Python strings are also called the collection of Unicode characters.

  CREATING A STRING: 7 OUTPUT : • A string can be used directly into the print statement as well… • As python has inbuilt ‘str’ datatype, when use the python script to find database, it outputs as ‘str’
• 8.
  INDEXING IN ASTRING 8 • Each element of a string can be accessed and dealt with separately using the concept of indexing. • Square brackets can be used to access the elements of a string. Find the output for the above code snippet ^^^ Again all these are the concept of considering ‘str’ as list of ‘char’. With this same concept, we can even loop through all the characters in a particular string.

  SLICING OF STRINGS 9 We can return a range of characters by using the slice syntax / operation  We need to specify the start index and the end index, separated by a colon, to return the part of the string  Remember index values always start from zero (0)  For Example; OUTPUT  We can also use the indices to print characters in a particular pattern. We need to add another value called a step value next to the stop value.  If required even negative index can be used.

  STRING CONCATENATION ╸ Toconcatenate more than a string, we can simply use + operator ╸ Example ; 10

  STRING FORMATTING • Aswe know we cannot combine different datatypes, without typecasting. • We can use the format() method, it takes passed arguments, formats them and places them in the string where the placeholders { } are; • This way, we can take a unlimited number of arguments and place them in the string accordingly. • We can number the placeholders for clarity

  ESCAPE CHARACTERS 13  Toinsert characters that are illegal in a string, use an escape character  An escape character is a ‘ ‘ backslash followed by the character you want to insert  For an example, if you want to use quotations inside a string, the interpreter will misunderstand and throw an error, Instead use the escape characters just before the required character to avoid that. ERROR ; CORRECTION ;
• 14.
  Some of thecommon escape characters used are mentioned below ; 14 >>> ’ - to use a single quote >>> ” - to use a double quote >>> n - to start in a new line >>> t - to leave a tab space >>> b - to do a backspace >>> ooo - to use a octal value >>> xhh - to use a hexadecimal value

  STRING METHODS 15 Unlike otherprogramming languages, python provides a huge catalogue of features and inbuilt operations to make the job easier;
• 16.
  16  capitalize() –converts the first character to upper case  upper() – converts a string into upper case  lower() – converts a string into lower case  title() – converts the first character of every word to upper case  strip() – removes all the spaces to the left and right of a string  startswith() – returns true, if string starts with a specified value  split() – splits the string at the specified separator and returns a list  replace() – replaces a specified value with another value  isalpha() – returns true, if all the characters are alphabets  isupper() – returns true, if all the characters are in upper case  islower() - returns true, if all the characters are in lower case  count() – returns the number of times a specified character occurs
