22
Q
  • mystring = ‘abcdefghijk’
  • Reverse this str by 2
A
  • mystring[::-2]
  • ‘kigeca’
23
Q
  • mystring = ‘abcdefghijk’
  • grab only def
A
  • mystring[:7]
  • ‘abcdefg’
24

A
  • ‘abcdefg’
27
Q

Access a range of characters in a string, you need to slice a string:

A

slicing operator :

28
Q

S [start : stop : step]

A
  • Start position End position Increment
29
Q
  • S = ‘ABCDEFGHI’
  • print(S[2:7])
A
  • # CDEFG
30
Q
  • Slice with Positive & Negative Indices
  • S = ‘ABCDEFGHI’
  • print(S[2:-5])
A
  • # CD
31
Q
  • # Return every 2nd item between position 2 to 7
  • S = ‘ABCDEFGHI’
  • print(S[2:7:2])
A
  • # CEG
32
Q
  • # Returns every 2nd item between position 6 to 1 in reverse order
  • S = ‘ABCDEFGHI’
  • print(S[6:1:-2])
A
  • # GEC
33
Q
  • # Slice first three characters from the string
  • S = ‘ABCDEFGHI’
  • print(S[:3])
A
  • # ABC
34
Q
  • # Slice last three characters from the string
  • S = ‘ABCDEFGHI’
  • print(S[6:])
A
  • # GHI
35
Q
  • Str are:
A
  • Immutable
36
Q

.format() method

A
  • A good way to format objects into your strings for print statements is with the string .format() method.
  • Syntax: ‘String here { } then also { }’.format(‘something1’,’something2’)
37
Q
  • .format() example:
  • Print the fox fox fox
  • Print the quick brown fox
  • Print “The quick brown fox’ using key words
  • Print “The fox fox fox’ using key words
A
  • print(‘The {0} {0} {0}’.format(‘fox’,’brown’,’quick’))
  • print(‘The {2} {1} {0}’.format(‘fox’,’brown’,’quick’))
  • print(‘the {q} {b} {f}’.format(f=’fox’,b=’brown’,q=’quick’))
  • print(‘the {f} {f} {f}’.format(f=’fox’,b=’brown’,q=’quick’))
38
Q

Float formating Syntax: “{value:width.precisionf}”

A
  • Pricision is most important. It tells how far past the decimal point to go.
  • The last number is rounded up or down depending on the next number being high or low
  • result = 0.1287001287001287
  • print(“The result was {r:1.5f}”.format(r=result))
  • The result was 0.12870
39
Q
  • f string format method
  • name = “Jose”

eg 2.

name = “Sam”

age = 3

A
  • print(‘Hello, his name is {}’.format(name))
  • f string method
  • print(f’Hello, his name is {name}.’)

Hello, his name is Joe.

eg2

  • print(f’{name} is {age} years old.’)

Same is 3 years old.
