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...

C++ Objects and Classes

C++ Object Oriented C++ Objects and Classes In object-oriented programming languages like C++, the data and functions (procedures to manipulate the data) are bundled together as a self-contained unit called an object. A class is an extended concept similar to that of structure in C programming language; this class describes the data properties alone. In C++ programming language, class describes both the properties (data) and behaviors (functions) of objects. Classes are not objects, but they are used to instantiate objects. What is a class? A class is an abstract data type similar to ‘ C structure ‘. Class representation of objects and the sets of operations that can be applied to such objects. Class consists of Data members and methods. Primary purpose of a class is to held data/information. This is achieved with attributes which is also know as data members. The member functions determine the behavior of the class i.e. provide definition for supporting various operations on data held...

C++ Polymorphism

C++ Polymorphism The term Polymorphism get derived from the Greek word where  poly  +  morphos  where poly means many and morphos means forms. In programming background, polymorphism can be broadly divided into two parts. These are: Static Polymorphism Dynamic Polymorphism. Polymorphism is another concept of object oriented programming (OOPs). The attitude which lies beneath this concept is “single interface having multiple implementations.” This provides a single interface for controlling access to a general class of actions. Polymorphism can be gained in both ways: compile time and run time A common and simple example of polymorphism is when you used  >>  and  << as operator overloading in C++, for  cin  and  cout  statements respectively. This bitwise shift operator at that time acts as a inclusion operator and its overloaded meaning is defined in  iostream  header file. Static Polymorphism In static polymor...
