String

We can access a string using indexing. In a string each character is assigned with a unique index value which starts from 0. A string can be written in both single quotes and double quotes. Example : 'Hello World'
"Hello World"

Program:



Output:

Hello
Hello

Program



Output

Hello

Program



Output

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipiscing elit,
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Python allows negative indexing as well.
Example : -1, -3, -5.
Where -1 refers to the last index, -2 refers to second last index and so on.
Printing here can be done by placing the string in single or double quotes after print.

print("Hello World")

Concatenation

A string in python is immutable i.e. it can not be changed once defined. But concatenation is still possible

Program



Output

Hello WorldExample

Using Join() method also we can concatenate string

Program



Output

HelloWorld

Program



Output

HelloWorld

Repetition

This is a unique property of strings in Python programming language. When a string is multiplied with an integer, the characters of string are multiplied the same number of times.

Syntax : string * integer

Program



Solution

kkkkk

Slicing

Slicing is done in Python to select or display the desired number of characters in a string. It is done with the help of symbol ':'

Syntax : String[ index: ]

Program



Solution

llo World

All the characters from and after second index is selected

Program



Solution

ello Wo

Characters between index number 1 and 8 are selected

Length of a string can be calculated using the len function.

Syntax : len("string")
len("Hello World"
It will return 11.

Deleting / updating from a String:

In Python, Updation or deletion of characters from a String is not allowed. This will cause an error because item assignment or item deletion from a String is not supported

Program



Output

Initial String:
Hello, I'm a coder
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "e:\VLAB\python\programs\a.py", line 51, in
String1[2] = 'p'
TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment
