.isupper() String Method in Python

In this Python tutorial, we are going to learn how to use the .isupper() string method in Python. The .isupper() string method looks in the string to see if all the letters in the string are uppercase if they are then the method returns a boolean of True and if there is one or more lowercase letters then method returns a Boolean of False. In the .isupper() string method numbers and special…

.islower() String Method in Python

In this Python Tutorial, we are going to learn how to use the .islower() string method in Python. We use the .islower() string method to check if all the letters in the string are lower case. When we call the .islower() on a string Python will return a boolean either True or False. If all the letters in the string are lowercase then Python returns True and if there is one or more uppercase…

.isdigit() String Method In Python

The .isdigit() string method in Python gives us the ability to check if all the characters in a string are digits(numbers). In this tutorial, we will refer to a number as a digit since that is the name of the method. When you see digit please think number like 1, 2, 3 and so on. If the string contains all digits, it will return a boolean value of True. If the string does not contain all digits,…

Alpha String Method in Python

The Alpha string method in Python checks if all characters in a string contain letters A thru Z in the alphabet. When we use the alpha string method in Python we get a boolean in return. If all the characters in the string are alphabetic letters and at least one character is present in the string then Python will return True and if just one character is not alphabetic then Python will return…

Alphanumeric String Method in Python

In this tutorial, we are about cover the Alphanumeric string method in Python. This method gives us the ability to determine if a string contains all alphanumeric characters which are letters and numbers. The string can contain either contain all letters or all numbers but it must contain either one number or letter. The alphanumeric string method in Python returns a boolean which will return…

Index String Method in Python

We can use the Index String Method in Pythonto find the index location of an occurrence. The index string method is very close to the find string method that we discussed in the previous Python tutorial. The only difference between the two is how each handles an occurrence when it is not found with the Python string.  We saw in the previous tutorial that find() returns a -1 when the occurrence is…

Find String Method in Python

The find string method in Python will search a string of an occurrence and return the occurrences location according to the index number. The find string method in Python will return the location of the first occurrence from left to right. The find method is case-sensitive in Python so the case must match for a correct response from Python.

The name of this method find can throw some people for a…

Endswith String Method in Python

The endswith string method in the Python programming language is used to check if a string ends with a certain character or characters. We call endswith string method by placing the .endswith() method after our string. Python will run this method which is a small built-in function that compares the end of the string with endswith() argument.  endswith() takes one argument which is your search…

Count String Method in Python

The count string method in Python is a very useful string method provided by Python. This method gives us the ability to count the occurrences(how many times a character is contained in a string) within a string. There will be times in your programming venture when you will need to find certain occurrences in a string. For example, say we have a website that needs to be very secure so we want our…

Center String Method in Python

Center string method in Python gives us the ability to give a Python string some style. You probably will not use the center string method all that often but it is kind of cool though. For you to understand fully how this works I will provide a short example showing how the center string method in Python works then I will explain the syntax and how to use it, then we will do some more examples.

Ce…

Remove String Case Information In Python

In this Python tutorial, we are going to learn how to remove string case information in Python. This may be one thing that you do not use all that often but it is important to know that the method does exist. We sometimes run into a problem when coding with Python where Python does something we did not expect because the function or method is case-sensitive.  For example say we were searching a…

How to Capitalize the First Letter in a Python String

In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to capitalize the first letter in a Python string. Of course you could just push the shift key when writing your string but we are programmers and we enjoy making things happen and there is also the time when you take a users input and you would like to capitalize that string in that situation we would not be able to use the shift key.  In Python, we…

Indexing and Slicing Python Strings

In this tutorial, we are about to learn how indexing and slicing Python stringswork. This is achieved by accessing characters by their position in a string called indexing and while we are at it we are also going to learn how to access a group of characters which is called slicing in Python. Strings are an ordered collection of characters also referred to as a sequence which gives us the ability…

Find a Character In a Python String – Advanced Python String

In today’s tutorial, we are going to find a character in a Python string.We can just think about this as a little search engine that will search a string for a specific character or specific characters that will return a boolean(True or False). Python would return the boolean True if it found the character and False if it did not find the specific character. We will use the “in” comparison…

How to Check The Python String Length – Advanced String Tutorial

In this Python advanced string tutorial we are going to discuss how to check the Python string length. There may be a time when you’re coding a program and you may want to see how many characters are in a string. This we may use to check to find out if a username is specified number of characters or to see if a users password is long enough. When checking a length of a string we call on a…

How To Do String Concatenation in Python – Advanced String Tutorial

There will be a time in programming when you will need to add two or more strings together. In programming this is called concatenation and in this tutorial we are about cover how to do string concatenation in Python. Combining strings in Python are pretty straight forward. We use the + symbol to add strings together so let’s dive in and see what we can do with concatenation.

How to Use Python Triple Quoted Strings – Python String Tutorial

In today’s tutorial, we are going to cover how to use Python triple quoted strings. The Python triple quote is good for string of very long text. If your text is going to span several lines then use the triple quote string. In a previous tutorial, I mentioned you can use the triple quote as a comment but this is not my preferred method. I use the #(pound sign, number sign or hashtag to start each…
