Indexing
Apna_College
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
str = “Apna_College”
str[0] is ‘A’, str[1] is ‘p’ ... str[0] = ‘B’ #not allowed
Slicing
Accessing parts of a string
str[ starting_idx : ending_idx ] #ending idx is not included
str = “ApnaCollege” str[ 1 : 4 ] is “pna”
str[ : 4 ] is same as str[ 0 : 4]
str[ 1 : ] is same as str[ 1 : len(str) ]
Slicing
Negative Index
Apple
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1
str = “Apple”
str[ -3 : -1 ] is “pl”
String Functions
str = “I am a coder.”
str.endsWith(“er.“) #returns true if string ends with substr
str.capitalize( ) #capitalizes 1st char
str.replace( old, new ) #replaces all occurrences of old with new
str.find( word ) #returns 1st index of 1st occurrence
str.count(“am“) #counts the occurrence of substr in string
Let‘s Practice
WAP to input user’s first name & print its length.
