It returns the length of a string.
Syntax: len(<string_name>)
Eg: name = “Hello”
print(len(name)) returns 5

Q. Write a program to accept a string and display the number of


characters in the string.
2. capitalize() method:
• It returns a copy of string with first letter capitalized.
• Syntax: <stringname>.capitalize()
• Eg: name = “tom”
name.capitalize() returns Tom

3. count() method:
It returns the number of occurrence of a substring in a string or string slice.
Syntax: <string>.count(sub,start,end)
Eg: ‘abcdabacab’.count(‘ab’)
‘abcdabacab’.count(‘ab’,4,8)
‘abcdabacab’.count(‘ab’,4)
4. find() method:
Returns the lowest index in the string where a substring is found.
Returns -1 if not found.
Syntax: <string>.find(sub, start,end)
Eg: ‘abcdaba’.find(‘ab’) returns 0

5. index() method:
Returns the lowest index in the string where a substring is found.
Results in ValueError if not found.
‘abcdaba’.index(‘ab’) returns 0
‘abcdaba’.index(‘ab’,2,5) ValueError
6. isalnum()method:
- Returns True if characters in a string are alphanumeric (alphabet or
number)
- Space character is not an alphanumeric.
Eg: ch = ‘abcde’
ch.isalnum() returns True.

7. isalpha() method:
Returns True if characters in a string are alphabets only.
Returns False otherwise.
‘abc123’.isalpha() returns False
‘abcd’.isalpha() returns True
8. isdigit() method:
Returns True if all characters in a string are digits only, otherwise
returns False.
Eg: ‘abcd123’.isdigit() returns False
‘1234’.isdigit() returns True

9. islower() method:
Returns True if all the characters in a string are of lowercase, other
wise returns False.
Eg: ‘abcd’.islower() returns True
‘Abcd’.islower() returns False
10. isupper() method:
Returns True if all the characters in the string are of uppercase.
Eg: ‘abcd’.isupper() returns False
‘ABCD’.isupper() returns True.

11.isspace() method:
Returns True if the string contain only space “ ”.
“ ”.isspace() returns True
“”.isspace() returns False since no space.
• 12. upper()
Converts all the characters in a string to uppercase.
Eg: ‘hello’.upper() returns ‘HELLO’
ch = “world”
ch.upper() returns ‘WORLD’

13. lower()
Converts all the characters in a string to lower case.
Eg: ‘HELLO’.lower() returns ‘hello’
‘World’.lower() returns ‘world’
14. lstrip(),rstrip(),strip()
lstrip() - Whitespaces from leftmost end are removed.
Eg: “ abcd ”.lstrip() returnd “abcd ”

rstrip() - Whitespaces from rightmost end are removed.


Eg: “ abcd ”.rstrip() returns “ abcd”

strip() – removes whitespace from leading and trailing end.


Eg: “ abcd ”.strip() returns “abcd”
15. startswith(), endswith()
startswith() returns True if a string start with a mentioned substring.
Eg: “abcdababcd”.startswith(“ab”) True
“abcdababcd”.startswith(“cd”) False

endswith() returns True if a string ends with a mentioned substring.


Eg: “abcdababcd”.endswith(“ab”) False
“abcdababcd”.endswith(“cd”) True
16. title() method:
Returns the string where all the words start with uppercase characters
and all remaining characters are in lowercase.
Eg: “hello world”.title() returns “Hello World”

Syntax: <string>.replace(old, new)
Eg: “abcdababacd”.replace(“cd”, “ab”) returns “ababababaab”

19. join() method:


Syntax: <string>.join(<string iterable>)
Eg: “*”.join(“hello”) returns ‘h*e*l*l*o.
A character/string is joined with each character/element of a given
string/sequence.
Eg: “***”.join([“hello”, “world”]) returns ‘hello***world’
