Some of the string methods are covered in the set 3 below
String Methods Part- 1
More methods are discussed in this article
1. len() :- This function returns the length of the string.
2. count(“string”, beg, end) :- This function counts the occurrence of mentioned substring in whole string. This function takes 3 arguments, substring, beginning position( by default 0) and end position(by default string length).
str = "geeksforgeeks is for geeks"
print (" The length of string is : ", len(str));
print (" Number of appearance of ""geeks"" is : ",end="")
print (str.count("geeks",0,15))
|
Output:
The length of string is : 26
Number of appearance of geeks is : 2
3. center() :- This function is used to surround the string with a character repeated both sides of string multiple times. By default the character is a space. Takes 2 arguments, length of string and the character.
4. ljust() :- This function returns the original string shifted to left that has a character at its right. It left adjusts the string. By default the character is space. It also takes two arguments, length of string and the character.
5. rjust() :- This function returns the original string shifted to right that has a character at its left. It right adjusts the string. By default the character is space. It also takes two arguments, length of string and the character.
str = "geeksforgeeks"
print ("The string after centering with '-' is : ",end="")
print ( str.center(20,'-'))
print ("The string after ljust is : ",end="")
print ( str.ljust(20,'-'))
print ("The string after rjust is : ",end="")
print ( str.rjust(20,'-'))
|
Output:
The string after centering with '-' is : ---geeksforgeeks----
The string after ljust is : geeksforgeeks-------
The string after rjust is : -------geeksforgeeks
6. isalpha() :- This function returns true when all the characters in the string are alphabets else returns false.
7. isalnum() :- This function returns true when all the characters in the string are combination of numbers and/or alphabets else returns false.
8. isspace() :- This function returns true when all the characters in the string are spaces else returns false.
str = "geeksforgeeks"
str1 = "123"
if (str.isalpha()):
print ("All characters are alphabets in str")
else : print ("All characters are not alphabets in str")
if (str1.isalnum()):
print ("All characters are numbers in str1")
else : print ("All characters are not numbers in str1")
if (str1.isspace()):
print ("All characters are spaces in str1")
else : print ("All characters are not spaces in str1")
|
Output:
All characters are alphabets in str
All characters are numbers in str1
All characters are not spaces in str1
9. join() :- This function is used to join a sequence of strings mentioned in its arguments with the string.
str = "_"
str1 = ( "geeks", "for", "geeks" )
print ("The string after joining is : ", end="")
print ( str.join(str1))
|
Output:
The string after joining is : geeks_for_geeks
