    Python Strings

    • Strings are contiguous set of characters.


    • Python does not have a character data type; a single character is simply a string with a
    length of 1.
    • Square brackets can be used to access elements of the string.
    • Strings are immutable. Updation or deletion of characters from a String is not allowed.

    Creating a String

    String1 = 'Welcome to the Python'


    print("String with the use of Single Quotes: ")
    print(String1)

    # Creating a String with double Quotes


    String1 = "Hello World"
    print("\nString with the use of Double Quotes: ")
    print(String1)

    # Creating a String with triple Quotes


    String1 = ‘’’It’s my life.’’’
    print("\nString with the use of Triple Quotes: ")
    print(String1)

    # Creating String with triple Quotes allows multiple lines


    String1 = ''' A for Apple
    B for Ball
    C for Cat'''
    print("\nCreating a multiline String: ")
    print(String1)

    Accessing Characters

    Negative index -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
    String H E L L O
    index 0 1 2 3 4

    Individual characters of a String can be accessed by using Index. Index number starts at 0 for the 1st
    character in the string.
    Indexing also allows negative address references to access characters from the back of the String,
    e.g. -1 refers to the last character, -2 refers to the second last character, and so on.

    String Slicing

    To access a range of characters in the String, the method of slicing is used. Slicing in a String is done
    by using a Slicing operator (colon).

    String1 = "Python Programming is fun"


    print("Initial String: ")
    print(String1)
    # Printing 3rd to 12th character
    print("\nSlicing characters from 3-12: ")
    print(String1[3:12])

    # Printing characters between 3rd and 2nd last character


    print("\nSlicing characters between " + "3rd and 2nd last character: ")
    print(String1[3:-2])

    Deleting / Updating a String

    In Python, Updation or deletion of characters from a String is not allowed. This will cause an error
    because item assignment or item deletion from a String is not supported.

    Although deletion of the entire String is possible with the use of a built-in del keyword.

    This is because Strings are immutable, hence elements of a String cannot be changed once it has been
    assigned. Only new strings can be reassigned to the same name.
