Python Strings: A Comprehensive

Guide
1. String Creation
In Python, strings are created by enclosing characters inside single (' ') or double (" ") quotes.

Example:

str1 = 'Hello'
str2 = "World"
print(str1, str2)

Output:
Hello World

2. String Concatenation
You can concatenate two or more strings using the + operator.

Example:

str1 = "Hello"
str2 = "World"
result = str1 + " " + str2
print(result)

Output:
Hello World

3. Repeating Strings
You can repeat a string multiple times using the * operator.

Example:

str1 = "Hi! "


print(str1 * 3)

Output:
Hi! Hi! Hi!

4. String Length
To find the length of a string, use the len() function.
Example:

str1 = "Python"
print(len(str1))

Output:
6

5. Accessing Characters (Indexing)


Strings in Python are indexed, which means each character has a position (starting from 0). You
can access individual characters using square brackets.

Example:

• str1 = "Python"
• first_char = str1[0] # Output: "P"
• last_char = str1[-1] # Output: "n"

6. Slicing
You can extract a portion of a string (substring) by specifying a range of indices. The format is:
string[start:end:step], where 'start' is the index where the slice starts, and 'end' is where it stops
(not inclusive).

Example:

• str1 = "Python"
• substring = str1[0:4] # Output: "Pyth"

7. Strings Are Immutable


Strings in Python are immutable, meaning once created, their content cannot be changed.

Example:
str1 = "Hello"
# This will throw an error
# str1[0] = "h"

8. Traversing Through Strings


a. Using for Loop
You can traverse each character in a string using a for loop.

Example:

str1 = "Python"
for char in str1:
print(char)

Output:
P
y
t
h
o
n

b. Using while Loop


You can also use a while loop to traverse a string by index.

Example:

str1 = "Python"
i=0
while i < len(str1):
print(str1[i])
i += 1

Output:
P
y
t
h
o
n

9. Conditional Statements
a. Using if
You can check conditions in a string using if.
Example:

str1 = "Python"
if "P" in str1:
print("P is present")

Output:
P is present

b. Using if-else
Use if-else to define an alternative action when the condition is False.

Example:

str1 = "Python"
if "A" in str1:
print("A is present")
else:
print("A is not present")

Output:
A is not present

c. Using if-elif-else
You can have multiple conditions using if-elif-else.

Example:

str1 = "Python"
if "A" in str1:
print("A is present")
elif "P" in str1:
print("P is present")
else:
print("None found")

Output:
P is present

10. Python String Methods


A variety of methods are available for string manipulation in Python. Below are some commonly
used methods with examples:

Method Syntax Description Example Output


upper() string.upper() Converts all str1 = "hello" HELLO
characters to print(str1.upper())
uppercase.
lower() string.lower() Converts all str1 = "HELLO" hello
characters to print(str1.lower())
lowercase.
capitalize() string.capitalize() Capitalizes str1 = "hello world" Hello
the first letter print(str1.capitalize()) world
of the string.
title() string.title() Capitalizes str1 = "hello world" Hello
the first letter print(str1.title()) World
of each word.
strip() string.strip() Removes str1 = " hello " hello
leading and print(str1.strip())
trailing
spaces.
replace() string.replace(old, new) Replaces all str1 = "hello world" hello
occurrences print(str1.replace("world", Python
of old with "Python"))
new.
split() string.split() Splits the str1 = "hello world" ['hello',
string into a print(str1.split()) 'world']
list of
substrings.
join() 'separator'.join(iterable) Joins words = ['hello', 'world'] hello
elements of print(' '.join(words)) world
an iterable
(like a list)
into a string.
find() string.find(substring) Returns the str1 = "hello world" 6
lowest index print(str1.find("world"))
of the
substring or -
1 if not
found.
count() string.count(substring) Returns the str1 = "banana" 3
number of print(str1.count("a"))
occurrences
of the
substring.
