Python String Functions

The following are the python string function mentioned:

1. capitalize(): Converts the initial letter of the string to uppercase.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “hello from MMMUT”

str2 = str1.capitalize()
print(str2)

Output:

Hello From MMMUT

2. casefold(): Converts the entire string to lowercase.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “HELLO FROM MMMUT”

str2 = str1.casefold()
print(str2)
Output:

hello from MMMUT

3. center(): It aligns the string at the center of the specified length.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “MMMUT”

str2 = str1.center(10)
print(str2)

Output:

MMMUT

That is, two-character spaces on the left have left a void, followed by six

characters of the string and another two void characters on the right,

summing to a total of ten characters.

4. count(): Returns the number of times a substring occurs in the given

string.
Example:

Code:

str1 = “Hello from MMMUT. Welcomw to MMMUT”

num = str1.count(“MMMUT”)
print(str2)

Output:

5. encode(): Converts the string into its encoded version.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “MMMUT”

str2 = str1.encode()
print(“Hello from”, str2)

Output:

Hello from vfg/7hyt/4

substring.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “Hello from MMMUT”

str2 = str1.endswith(“CBA”)
print(str2)

Output:

true

7. expandtabs(): Replaces the tab size to the given numeric character

spaces. The default tab size is 8 character spaces.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “Hello\tfrom\tMMMUT”

str2 = str1.expandtabs(2)
print(str2)
Output:

Hello from MMMUT

8. find(): Searches the main string from the left for a specified substring

and returns its position within a match is found; if not, return -1 when no

match is found.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “Hello from MMMUT”

str2 = str1.find(“MMMUT”)
print(str2)

Output:

11

9. format(): Helps format the string by making use of placeholders.

Example:

Code:
str1 = “MMMUT”
print("Hello from {}.".format(str1))

Output:

Hello from MMMUT.

10. index(): Finds the position of occurrence of a substring by searching

the main string for a specified substring and returns its position within a

match is found, if not throws an error.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “Hello from MMMUT”

str2 = str1.index(“MMMUT”)
print(str2)

Output:

11
11. isalnum(): Determines if all the characters in a given string are

alphanumeric, that is, only alphabets and numbers. If yes, then returns true,

else returns false. In case there is a space in between, it returns false.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “MMMUT123”

str2 = str1.isalnum()
print(str2)

Output:

True

12. isalpha(): Determines if all the characters in the given string are

alphabets. If yes, return true, else return false. In case there is a space in

between, it returns false.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “HellofromMMMUT”
str2 = str1.isalpha()
print(str2)

Output:

True

13. isdecimal(): Determines if all the characters in a given string are

decimals. If yes, then returns true, else returns false. In case there is a space

in between, it returns false.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “123456”

str2 = str1.isdecimal()
print(str2)

Output:

True
14. isidentifier(): Determines whether or not the string is a valid identifier.

If yes, then returns true, else returns false. In case there is a space in

between, it returns false.

Example 1:

Code:

str1 = “MMMUT123”

str2 = str1.isidentifier()
print(str2)

Output:

True

Example 2:

Code:

str1 = “MMMUT 123”

str2 = str1.isidentifier()
print(str2)

Output:
False

15. islower(): Determines if all the characters in a given string are in lower

case. If yes, then returns true, else returns false.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “MMMUT”

str2 = str1.islower()
print(str2)

Output:

False

16. isnumeric(): Determines if all the characters in a given string are

numeric, that is, numbers and exponents that could be in fractions. If yes,

then returns true, else return false.

Example:

Code:
str1 = “123”

str2 = str1.isnumeric()
print(str2)

Output:

True

17. isprintable(): Determines if all the characters in a given string are

printable or not. If yes, then returns true, else returns false. Characters such

as “\t” or “\n” are not printable.

Example 1:

Code:

str1 = “MMMUT123”

str2 = str1.isprintable()
print(str2)

Output:

True

Example 2:
Code:

str1 = “\tMMMUT123”

str2 = str1.isprintable()
print(str2)

Output:

False

18. isspace(): Determines if all the characters in a given string are white

spaces. If yes, then returns true, else returns false.

str1 = “Hello From MMMUT”

str2 = str1.istitle()
print(str2)

Output:

True

20. isupper(): Determines if all the characters in a given string are in the

upper case. If yes, then returns true, else returns false.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “HELLO FROM MMMUT”

str2 = str1.isupper()
print(str2)
Output:

True

21. join(): Meant to concatenate two strings in an iterated manner.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “Hello”

print(str2)

Output:

HelloEHellodHellouHelloCHelloBHelloA

22. lower(): Meant to convert the entire string to lower case.

str2 = str1.lower()
print(str2)

Output:

hello from MMMUT.

23. upper(): Meant to convert the entire string to the upper case.

Example:

Code:

str1 = “Hello from MMMUT”

str2 = str1.upper()
print(str2) Output: HELLO FROM MMMUT 24. replace(): Meant to

replace a substring with another. Example: Code:

str1 = “Hello from MMMUT!”

str2 = str1.replace(“ from”,” there”)
