    This document provides examples of string handling functions in Python like storing text in variables, concatenating strings, accessing substrings, converting case, and determining string length. It then gives 20 problems to test string handling skills by having the student write the output of code snippets using these functions. The problems start simple and get progressively harder, involving concatenating, accessing substrings, counting characters, and using counts to determine a password.

    The passage discusses strings and common string handling operations in Python such as concatenation, substring extraction, changing case, and length determination.

    Strings in Python can store text. Common operations include concatenation to join strings, extracting substrings, changing case, getting string length. Functions like lower(), upper(), len() are used.

    The output of each program example is shown on pages 1-3.

    Topic 3 - String Handling

    All programming languages can store and manipulate text using string variables and build in functions.
    Some examples of string handling, in the programming language Python are shown below:

    Storing Text: productName = “Apple iPad Air 32Gb”


    Output from Program
    Concatenation: productName = “Apple ” + “iPad Air ” + “32Gb”
    (joining text) print (productName) Apple iPad Air 32Gb

    Sub-String: comment = “Most Excellent” Output from Program


    (splitting text) part1 = comment[0:7] Most Ex
    print (part1)
    Note the above
    two lines can
    be combined
    like this
    print (comment[-5:-2])
    print (comment[:3])
    print (comment[-9:])
    } lle
    Mos
    Excellent

    quotation = “The answer is Forty Two” Output from Program


    Lower Case smallQuotation = quotation.lower()
    the answer is forty two
    print (smallQuotation)
    THE ANSWER IS FORTY TWO
    Upper Case print (quotation.upper())

    Length of String sentence = “I never could get the hang of Thursdays” Output from Program
    sentencelength = len(sentence) 39
    print(sentencelength)

    For each of the following problems, think through the code and write down the output from each program.
    The problems will get harder and harder.
    Output from Program
    1. productName = “The Hobbit” (1)
    print (productName) The Hobbit

    Output from Program


    2. footballTeam = “Dunfermline” + “ Football “ + “Club” (1)
    print (footballTeam) Dunfermline Football Club

    Output from Program


    3. dogBreed = “Labradoodle” (1)
    print (dogBreed + dogBreed) LabradoodleLabradoodle

    4. dogBreed = “Labradoodle” Output from Program (1)


    dogAge = “Two” LabradoodleTwo
    print (dogBreed + dogAge)

    5. dogBreed = “Labradoodle” Output from Program (1)


    dogAge = “Two” TwoLabradoodle
    print (dogAge + dogBreed)

    surname = “White” W
    print (firstName[0:1]) W

    tempFilm = filmRelease.lower() world war z
    print (tempFilm)

    15. filmRelease = “World War Z” Output from Program (1)

    17. password = “spider man” Output from Program (1)


    passwordLength = len(password) 10
    print (passwordLength)

    Output from Program


    18. password = “Olympus” (1)
    Your password is 7 characters long
    passwordLength = len(password)
    print (“Your password is ” + passwordLength + “ characters long”)

    19. word = “Sydney” Output from Program (1)


    middleLetter = len(word) / 2 d
    #note that the next line removes any decimal place from the number
    middleLetter = int(middleLetter)
    print (word[middleLetter-1:middleLetter])

    Python has many other functions used to manipulate strings. Here is one more:
    Count: #This returns the number of times text is found in a given string
    Output from Program
    advice = “In winter, sensible people stay indoors”
    print (advice.count(“in”)) 2

    #Note that the output is 2 because the follow “in”s are found in the advice string:
    In winter, sensible people stay indoors
    The first “In” has a capital I so isn’t counted.

    20. The following program uses string handling to create a simple password. Can you work out what
    the password is? (4)
    statement = “When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced”
    letter1position = statement.count(“a”)
    letter2position = statement.count(“e”)
    letter3position = statement.count(“i”) Output from Program
    letter4position = statement.count(“o”) ehhe
    letter1 = statement[letter1position-1:letter1position]
    letter2 = statement[letter2position-1:letter2position]
    letter3 = statement[letter3position-1:letter3position]
    letter4 = statement[letter4position-1:letter4position]
    password = letter4 + letter2 + letter3 + letter1
    print (password)
