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

Python Lists

Python Lists Dealing with data in a structured format is quiet generous, and this is possible if those data are set accordingly in a specific manner. So, Python provides these data structures named ‘lists’ and ‘tuples’ that are used to organize data in  single set. Python has 6 built-in sequences and among them the most famous are “lists and tuples”. The lists are containers that hold a number of other objects in a given order. It usually puts into practice the sequence protocol and allows programmers to add or remove objects from that sequence. Each element of the sequence is assigned a number i.e. he index and the first index is 0 (zero). This versatile data-type of Python is written in a sequence of list separated by commas between expressions. Creating Lists To build a list, just put a number of expressions in square brackets. The syntax is: Syntax: lst1 = [ ] # lst1 is the name of the list lst2 = [ expression1 , …. , expression_N ] Example: #!/usr/bin/python ls...

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...
