Learn how to manipulate and work


with strings in Python effectively, from
basic operations to advanced
techniques.

What is a String in Python?

A string in Python is a sequence of


characters enclosed within single, double, or
triple quotes.

Examples:

Strings are immutable, meaning


Use once created, their content cannot
Cases: be changed.

String Creation

Basic String
Declaration:

Use triple quotes for strings


spanning multiple lines.

String Indexing

Strings in Python are indexed, with the first


character at index 0.
Positive Indexing: Left to right, starting at 0.
Negative Indexing: Right to left, starting at -1.

Examples:

String Slicing

String slicing allows extracting a portion of a


string using [start:end:step].

Syntax:

Examples:

String Length

The len() function returns the number of


characters in a string.

Examples:

Includes spaces and special


Key characters.
Notes: Useful for validating user input or
processing strings dynamically.

Common String Methods

Python offers many built-in string


methods for manipulation.

Checking Substrings

Use in and not in to check for the


presence or absence of substrings.

Examples:

These are useful for conditional


statements and filtering data.

String Formatting

Python provides several ways to format strings:

Using f-strings :

Output

Using format() Method

Using % Operator:

Iterating Through Strings

Strings are iterable, meaning you


can loop through each character.

Examples:

Output

This is useful for character-level processing or


transformations.

String Concatenation

Strings can be concatenated using the +


operator or repeated with the * operator.

Examples:

String Comparison

Strings can be compared using comparison


operators like ==, !=, <, >.

Examples:

Comparisons are case-


sensitive.
Key Notes: Use .lower() or .upper() for
case-insensitive
comparisons.

String Encoding and Decoding

Convert strings to bytes using .encode() and


bytes to strings using .decode().

Examples:

This is useful for handling text in different


formats or file encodings.

Common Errors
with Strings

Strings cann ot be modified


in place.
Immutable
Nature:

Accessing out-of-range
indices.
IndexError:

Mixing strings with non-strings


without conversion.

TypeError:
