Strings are amongst the most popular types in Python. We can create them simply by enclosing characters in quotes. Python treats single quotes the same as double quotes. Creating strings is as simple as assigning a value to a variable. For example −
var1 = 'Hello World!' var2 = "Python Programming"
Accessing Values in Strings
Python does not support a character type; these are treated as strings of length one, thus also considered a substring.
To access substrings, use the square brackets for slicing along with the index or indices to obtain your substring. For example −
Live Demo#!/usr/bin/python3
var1 = 'Hello World!'
var2 = "Python Programming"
print ("var1[0]: ", var1[0])
print ("var2[1:5]: ", var2[1:5])
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result −
var1[0]: H var2[1:5]: ytho
Updating Strings
You can "update" an existing string by (re)assigning a variable to another string. The new value can be related to its previous value or to a completely different string altogether. For example −
Live Demo#!/usr/bin/python3
var1 = 'Hello World!'
print ("Updated String :- ", var1[:6] + 'Python')
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result −
Updated String :- Hello Python
Escape Characters
Following table is a list of escape or non-printable characters that can be represented with backslash notation.
An escape character gets interpreted; in a single quoted as well as double quoted strings.
| Backslash notation | Hexadecimal character | Description |
|---|---|---|
| \a | 0x07 | Bell or alert |
| \b | 0x08 | Backspace |
| \cx | Control-x | |
| \C-x | Control-x | |
| \e | 0x1b | Escape |
| \f | 0x0c | Formfeed |
| \M-\C-x | Meta-Control-x | |
| \n | 0x0a | Newline |
| \nnn | Octal notation, where n is in the range 0.7 | |
| \r | 0x0d | Carriage return |
| \s | 0x20 | Space |
| \t | 0x09 | Tab |
| \v | 0x0b | Vertical tab |
| \x | Character x | |
| \xnn | Hexadecimal notation, where n is in the range 0.9, a.f, or A.F |
String Special Operators
Assume string variable a holds 'Hello' and variable b holds 'Python', then −
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| + | Concatenation - Adds values on either side of the operator | a + b will give HelloPython |
| * | Repetition - Creates new strings, concatenating multiple copies of the same string | a*2 will give -HelloHello |
| [] | Slice - Gives the character from the given index | a[1] will give e |
| [ : ] | Range Slice - Gives the characters from the given range | a[1:4] will give ell |
| in | Membership - Returns true if a character exists in the given string | H in a will give 1 |
| not in | Membership - Returns true if a character does not exist in the given string | M not in a will give 1 |
| r/R | Raw String - Suppresses actual meaning of Escape characters. The syntax for raw strings is exactly the same as for normal strings with the exception of the raw string operator, the letter "r," which precedes the quotation marks. The "r" can be lowercase (r) or uppercase (R) and must be placed immediately preceding the first quote mark. | print r'\n' prints \n and print R'\n'prints \n |
| % | Format - Performs String formatting | See at next section |
String Formatting Operator
One of Python's coolest features is the string format operator %. This operator is unique to strings and makes up for the pack of having functions from C's printf() family. Following is a simple example −
Live Demo#!/usr/bin/python3
print ("My name is %s and weight is %d kg!" % ('Zara', 21))
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result −
My name is Zara and weight is 21 kg!
Here is the list of complete set of symbols which can be used along with % −
| Sr.No. | Format Symbol & Conversion |
|---|---|
| 1 |
%c character |
| 2 |
%s string conversion via str() prior to formatting |
| 3 |
%i signed decimal integer |
| 4 |
%d signed decimal integer |
| 5 |
%u unsigned decimal integer |
| 6 |
%o octal integer |
| 7 |
%x hexadecimal integer (lowercase letters) |
| 8 |
%X hexadecimal integer (UPPERcase letters) |
| 9 |
%e exponential notation (with lowercase 'e') |
| 10 |
%E exponential notation (with UPPERcase 'E') |
| 11 |
%f floating point real number |
| 12 |
%g the shorter of %f and %e |
| 13 |
%G the shorter of %f and %E |
Other supported symbols and functionality are listed in the following table −
| Sr.No. | Symbol & Functionality |
|---|---|
| 1 |
* argument specifies width or precision |
| 2 |
- left justification |
| 3 |
+ display the sign |
| 4 |
<sp> leave a blank space before a positive number |
| 5 |
# add the octal leading zero ( '0' ) or hexadecimal leading '0x' or '0X', depending on whether 'x' or 'X' were used. |
| 6 |
0 pad from left with zeros (instead of spaces) |
| 7 |
% '%%' leaves you with a single literal '%' |
| 8 |
(var) mapping variable (dictionary arguments) |
| 9 |
m.n. m is the minimum total width and n is the number of digits to display after the decimal point (if appl.) |
Triple Quotes
Python's triple quotes comes to the rescue by allowing strings to span multiple lines, including verbatim NEWLINEs, TABs, and any other special characters.
The syntax for triple quotes consists of three consecutive single or double quotes.
Live Demo#!/usr/bin/python3 para_str = """this is a long string that is made up of several lines and non-printable characters such as TAB ( \t ) and they will show up that way when displayed. NEWLINEs within the string, whether explicitly given like this within the brackets [ \n ], or just a NEWLINE within the variable assignment will also show up. """ print (para_str)
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result. Note how every single special character has been converted to its printed form, right down to the last NEWLINE at the end of the string between the "up." and closing triple quotes. Also note that NEWLINEs occur either with an explicit carriage return at the end of a line or its escape code (\n) −
this is a long string that is made up of several lines and non-printable characters such as TAB ( ) and they will show up that way when displayed. NEWLINEs within the string, whether explicitly given like this within the brackets [ ], or just a NEWLINE within the variable assignment will also show up.
Raw strings do not treat the backslash as a special character at all. Every character you put into a raw string stays the way you wrote it −
Live Demo#!/usr/bin/python3
print ('C:\\nowhere')
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result −
C:\nowhere
Now let's make use of raw string. We would put expression in r'expression' as follows −
Live Demo#!/usr/bin/python3 print (r'C:\\nowhere')
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result −
C:\\nowhere
Unicode String
In Python 3, all strings are represented in Unicode.In Python 2 are stored internally as 8-bit ASCII, hence it is required to attach 'u' to make it Unicode. It is no longer necessary now.
Built-in String Methods
Python includes the following built-in methods to manipulate strings −
