Python Strings – Roman Urdu +
English Explanation
Python mein strings kaafi important concept hain. Yahan hum strings ko detail mein
samjhenge, unka istemaal, aur unke saath kiye ja sakne wale operations.
Strings Ki Basic Samajh (Basic Understanding of Strings)
Roman Urdu:
Python mein string characteron ka sequence hota hai jo quotes mein enclosed hota hai
(single, double ya triple quotes). Strings immutable hain, yani banne ke baad unko change
nahi kiya ja sakta.
English:
In Python, a string is a sequence of characters enclosed in quotes (single, double, or triple).
Strings are immutable, meaning they cannot be changed after creation.
String Banane Ke Tareeqay (Ways to Create Strings)
Roman Urdu:
Single quotes: 'Hello'
Double quotes: "Hello"
Triple quotes: '''Multi-line strings ke liye'''
Raw strings: r'Hello\nWorld' (backslashes ko as-it-is leta hai)
English:
Single quotes: 'Hello'
Double quotes: "Hello"
Triple quotes: '''For multi-line strings'''
Raw strings: r'Hello\nWorld' (treats backslashes literally)
Escape Sequence Characters
Roman Urdu:
Ye special characters hote hain jo backslash \ ke sath use hote hain:
\n - New line
\t - Tab
\\ - Backslash itself
\" - Double quote in string
English:
These are special characters used with backslash:
\n - New line
\t - Tab
\\ - Backslash itself
\" - Double quote in string
String Operations
Roman Urdu:
Concatenation (+): Do strings ko jorna
"Hello" + "World" # Output: HelloWorld
Indexing: String ke characters ko index se access karna
"Hello"[1] # Output: 'e'
Slicing: String ka hissa lena
"Hello"[1:3] # Output: 'el'
Length (len()): String ki length maloom karna
len("Hello") # Output: 5
English:
Concatenation (+): Joining two strings
Indexing: Accessing characters by index
Slicing: Getting part of a string
Length (len()): Finding string length
String Formatting
Roman Urdu:
Old style (% operator):
"Name: %s, Age: %d" % ("Ali", 25)
format() method:
"Name: {}, Age: {}".format("Ali", 25)
f-strings (Python 3.6+):
name = "Ali"
f"Name: {name}"
English:
Old style (% operator)
format() method
f-strings (most modern way)
String Pool aur Interning
Roman Urdu:
Python string literals ko memory mein optimize karne ke liye string pool use karta hai. Agar do
variables same string value rakhte hain, to possible hai ke dono same memory location ko
point karein (lekin hamesha nahi).
English:
Python uses string pooling to optimize memory usage of string literals. If two variables have
the same string value, they may point to the same memory location (but not always).
Type Casting (Type Conversion)
Roman Urdu:
Implicit: Python khud convert karega (jab safe ho)
10 + 5.5 # Output: 15.5
Explicit: Hum manually convert karein
int("10"), str(10), float("3.14")
English:
Implicit: Python automatically converts when safe
Explicit: Manual conversion using functions
Aam String Methods (Common String Methods)
Roman Urdu:
.split() → String ko list mein divide karega
.join() → List ko string mein combine karega
.replace() → Text replace karega
.find() → Text ka position batayega
.upper() / .lower() → Case change karega
English:
.split() → Splits string into list
.join() → Joins list into string
.replace() → Replaces text
.find() → Finds text position
.upper() / .lower() → Changes case
Important Notes
Roman Urdu:
Strings immutable hain – change nahi kar sakte, nayi string banegi
Comparison dictionary order se hota hai
== content check karta hai, is memory location check karta hai
English:
Strings are immutable – cannot be changed, new string is created
Comparison is lexicographical (dictionary order)
== checks content, is checks memory location
✅ Ye basic concepts hain strings ke Python mein. Inko bar bar practice karo taake achi samajh

4. Answer: B) Immutable
Explanation: Strings cannot be changed after creation.
Roman Urdu: Ban jaane ke baad string ko directly change nahi kar sakte.
5. Answer: B) 5
Explanation: "Hello" mein 5 characters hain, so len("Hello") = 5.
