String Functions Class11

String functions
• Python offers many built-in functions and methods for string

manipulation.
1. len() function:
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”
“HELLO WORLD”.title() returns “Hello World”
17. istitle() method:

Returns true if a string is in title format.
“Hello World”.istitle() returns True
“HELLO WORLD”.istitle() returns False
18. replace() method:
Returns a string by replacing an old substring with new substring.
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’
20. split() method:
Splits a string based on a given character/string and returns a list
containing split string as members.
Eg: “I love Python”.split(“ ”) Returns [‘I’, ‘love’, ‘Python’]
“I Love python”.split(“o”) returns [‘I L’, ‘ve pyth’, ‘n’]
21. partition() method:

This method splits a string at the first occurrence of a separator string,
and returns a tuple containing 3 items:
- Part of string before separator
- Seperator
- Part after separator.
Eg: txt = “I enjoy working with python”
txt.partition(“working”)
returns a tuple (“I enjoy”, “ working”, “with python”)
Q. Write a program to accept a string , and display the count of

uppercase letter, lowercase letters, digits, alphabets and special
