Python - Modify Strings

Python -  Modify Strings Python comes with some ready-to-use tools that make working with text easier. Upper Case Example If you apply the upper() method to a string in Python, it will convert all the letters in the string to uppercase and return the modified string: x =   "Hello, World!" print (x. upper() ) Lower Case Example If you apply the  lower()  method to a string in Python, it will convert all the letters in the string to uppercase and return the modified string: x =  "Hello, World!" print (x.lower()) Remove Whitespace The term "whitespace" refers to the space that appears before and/or after the text itself, and it is often desirable to eliminate this space. Example Using the ` strip()` method, you can eliminate any whitespace located at the start or end of a string : x =  " Hello, World! " print (x.strip())  # returns "Hello, World!" Replace String Example With the ` replace() ` method, you can substitute one string with an...

Python - Slicing Strings

Slicing The slice syntax can be utilized to obtain a selection of characters within a range. To obtain a specific portion of a string, indicate the beginning index and the ending index separated by a colon using the slice notation. Example Retrieve the characters starting from index 3 up to but not including index 7: x =   "Python slicing" print (x[ 3 : 7 ]) Note:  The first character has index 0. Slice From the Start If you don't specify the starting index, the range will start from the first character: Example Retrieve the first 5 characters of the string, excluding the character at the 6th position: x =   "Python slicing" print (x[: 6 ]) Slice To the End If you exclude the end index when defining a range, it will automatically include all the elements until the end : Example Retrieve all the characters from the 3rd position to the end of the string: x =   "Python slicing" print (x[ 3 :]) Negative Indexing To begin the slice from the end of the strin...

Python Strings

Python is a computer language that can be used for many things like creating websites, studying data, and building smart machines. Strings are an important way of storing and working with text in Python. This piece of writing will cover the basics of strings, including their definition, how they can be made, and a few typical actions you can do with them. What are Strings in Python? Python considers a string as a series of characters that signify text-based data. Such a string is composed of a group of characters that are enclosed either in single quotes ('') or double quotes (""). Strings can contain letters, numbers, symbols, and spaces, and can be of any length. For instance, "Hello, World!" is a valid string, as are 'Python is awesome!' and "12345". The choice of quotes is yours to make, as long as you're consistent. In Python, if a string begins with a single quote, it must be terminated with a single quote. Similarly, if a string ...

Legal drinking age around the world

From hard liquor to hard seltzer, alcoholic beverages are an almost ubiquitous part of many modern cultures: wine with dinner, beer with friends on the weekend, celebratory champagne toasts, etc. However, because alcohol is a drug that can significantly affect a person's judgment and physical abilities, many countries age-restrict the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Effects of alcohol on the body In chemical terms, alcohol is an organic compound produced when grains, vegetables or fruits are allowed to ferment. Medically, alcohol is classified as a depressant (as opposed to stimulants like caffeine or hallucinogens like psilocybin) with a wide range of physiological effects. Most of these effects involve a reduction or inhibition of physical activity. For example, alcohol inhibits physical motor function and slows reaction time. Consequently, the more one drinks, the slower and more sluggish one becomes. Similarly, alcohol also inhibits the brain's communication pathways. T...

Python - Output Variables

Output variables in Python refers to the process of displaying or printing the value of a variable to the console or output stream. This is a crucial aspect of programming as it allows developers to test and debug their code and also helps users to interact with the program. In Python, we can output variables to the console using the print() function. The syntax for using the print() function is straightforward: ``` variable_name = "Hello, World!" print(variable_name) ``` In this example, we have created a variable called `variable_name` and assigned it the value "Hello, World!". We then use the print() function to output the value of `variable_name` to the console. We can also output multiple variables using the print() function by separating them with commas. For example: ``` name = "John" age = 25 print("My name is", name, "and I am", age, "years old.") ``` In this example, we have created two variables called `name` and `a...

Python - Global Variables

In Python, a global variable is a variable that is declared outside of any function and can be accessed by any function in the same module or file. Global variables can be useful for storing values that are needed by multiple functions within the same module or file. In Python, declaring a variable outside of any function is all that's needed to create a global variable: ``` # defining a global variable my_global_var = "Hello World" # Creating a function that utilizes the global variable: def print_global_var():     print(my_global_var) # calling the function print_global_var()  # output: "Hello World" ``` In the example above, `my_global_var` is a global variable that can be accessed by the function `print_global_var()` because it is defined outside of any function. It is also possible to modify the value of a global variable from within a function using the `global` keyword: ``` # defining a global variable my_global_var = "Hello World" # defining a ...
