Python Strings


Python Strings

A string is usually a bit of text in programming that is written to be displayed to users. It is known to Python when you want to display a string. This is because programmers use either double quote “ or single quote ‘ to enclose a word or group of words to express a string.
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python

ch = 'HelloPython'

str1 = "String Chapter"

Accessing String Values

Characters are not supported by Python which makes it simpler as characters in Python are treated as strings of length 1 and hence considered as a sub-string.
Program showing the use of strings and how they are displayed on-screen.
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python

ch = 'Hello Python'

str1 = "String Chapter"

print ("First value is: " ,  ch)

print ("Second value is: " ,  str1)
Output:
First value is: Hello Python
Second value is: String Chapter
If they are considered as a list of characters, then the example shown below will let you understand how they are treated individually:
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python

ch = "Hello Python"

str1 = "String Chapter"

print ("First single sub-string is: " ,  ch[0])

print ("Set of sub-string is: " ,  str1[2:6])
Output:
First single sub-string is: H
Set of sub-string is: ring C

Updating a String Value or Variable

Reassigning the existing string-variable is simpler in Python. Just we have to use + operator along with the sub-string location. Let’s show this with an example:
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python

ch = "Hello Python"

print ("UPDATED STRING WILL BE: " , ch [:8]+ "Python")
Output:
UPDATED STRING WILL BE: Hello PyPython

Escape Characters

These are special characters represented by backslash followed by character(s) and they are used for special purposes. They can be interpreted using both single and double quote. The lists of Escape Characters in Python are:
  • \a: alert
  • \b: backspace
  • \cx: Control X
  • \e: escape
  • \f: Form feed
  • \n: New line or next line
  • \r: carriage return
  • \s: space
  • \t: tab
  • \v: Vertical Tab

Java Method Overriding

Java Method Overriding Declaring a method in the subclass which already exists there in the parent class is known as method overriding. When a class is inheriting a method from a superclass of its own, then there is an option of overriding the method provided it is not declared as final. The advantage of using overriding is the ability to classify a behavior that’s specific to the child class and the child class can implement a parent class method based on its necessity. There are certain rules that a programmer should follow in order to implement overriding. These are: In Java, a method can only be written in the child class and not in same class. Argument list should be exactly the same as that of the overridden method of that class. Instance methods can also be overridden if they are inherited by the child class. A constructor cannot be overridden. Final – declared methods cannot be overridden. Any method that is static cannot be used to override. The return type must have to be the...

C++ Data Abstraction

C++ Data Abstraction Object oriented programming offers various features to write programs with various concepts that help to minimize problems and increase flexibility in program. One of the features of object oriented programming is Data abstraction. In this chapter you will learn about how the concept data abstraction is carried out within the C++ program. What is Data abstraction? Data abstraction allows a program to ignore the details of how a data type is represented. Abstraction (derived from a Latin word  abs , meaning away from and  trahere , meaning to draw) refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background details or explanations. C++ classes use the technique of abstraction and are defined as a list of abstract attributes such as width, cost, size etc and functions to operate on these attributes. They put in a nutshell all the essential properties of an object that are required to be created. The attributes are therefore called...
