String Methods

The page is dedicated to String Methods and provides an in-depth exploration of the numerous functions available for manipulating strings in Python. From fundamental operations like concatenation and slicing to advanced techniques such as pattern matching and formatting, these methods empower developers to efficiently handle text data. Through detailed explanations and practical examples, users gain a thorough understanding of how to leverage string manipulation capabilities effectively within Python programming.

Function Description
capitalize()

The capitalize() method in Python is a String Method that capitalizes the first letter of a string and makes all other characters lowercase.

casefold()

The casefold() method in Python is a string method that returns a lowercase version of the string.

center()

The center() method is a string method in Python that returns a centered string within a specified width.

count()

The count() function is a String Method in Python that returns the number of occurrences of a specified substring within the string.

encode()

The encode() function in Python is a method of the String class that converts the string into bytes using the specified encoding.

endswith()

The endswith() method in Python is a string method that returns True if a string ends with a specified suffix, otherwise it returns False.

expandtabs()

The expandtabs() method in Python is a string method that replaces tab characters in a string with spaces. It allows you to specify the tab size as an optional parameter.

find()

The find() method in Python is a string method that returns the lowest index within the string where a specified substring is found. If the substring is not found, it returns -1.

format()

The format() function in Python is a string method that allows you to format a string by replacing placeholders with values.

format_map()

The format_map() function is a method used in Python to substitute the values of a dictionary into a string that contains placeholders.

index()

isalnum()

A string method in Python that returns True if all characters in the string are alphanumeric (either letters or numbers), and there is at least one character.

isalpha()

The isalpha() method in Python is a String Method that returns True if all characters in the string are alphabetic (letters), otherwise it returns False.

isascii()

The isascii() method is a string method in Python that checks whether all the characters in a string are ASCII characters or not.

isdecimal()

A Python method that returns True if all the characters in a string are decimal characters, such as numbers from 0-9, and there is at least one character in the string, otherwise it returns False.

isdigit()

The isdigit() method is a built-in string method in Python that returns True if all characters in the string are digits, and False otherwise.

isidentifier()

The isidentifier() method is a part of string methods in Python and is used to check if a given string is a valid identifier.

islower()

The islower() method is a string method in Python that returns True if all alphabetic characters in the string are lowercase, otherwise it returns False.

isnumeric()

The isnumeric() function is a method in Python that is used to check whether all the characters in a string are numeric digits (0-9).

isprintable()

The isprintable() method in Python is used to check if all characters in a string are printable.

isspace()

The isspace() method in Python is a String Method that returns True if all characters in the string are whitespace characters, such as spaces, tabs, or newlines.

istitle()

The istitle() method is a string method in Python which returns True if the string's first character of each word is in uppercase and all other characters are in lowercase.

isupper()

The isupper() method in Python is a part of String Methods. It is used to check if all the alphabetic characters in a string are uppercase.

join()

The join() method is a string method in Python that concatenates the elements of an iterable using the string as a delimiter between each element.

ljust()

The ljust() method in Python is a string method that returns a left-justified version of the original string.

lower()

The lower() method in Python is a string method that returns a copy of the string with all alphabetic characters converted to lowercase.

lstrip()

The lstrip() method in Python is a string method that removes any leading characters (whitespace by default) from a string.

maketrans()

The maketrans() function is a method available in Python's string methods. It is used to create a translation table that maps one set of characters to another set.

partition()

A method that splits the string at the first occurrence of a specified separator and returns a tuple containing three elements: the part before the separator, the separator itself, and the part after the separator.

replace()

The replace() function is a string method in Python that returns a new string with all occurrences of a specified substring replaced with another specified substring.

rfind()

The rfind() method in Python is a string method that is used to find the last occurrence of a specified substring within a string.

rindex()

The rindex() method in Python is a string method used to find the last occurrence of a substring within a string.

rjust()

The rjust() method in Python is a String Method used to right-justify a string by padding it with spaces on the left side.

rpartition()

The rpartition() method in Python is a string method that splits a string into three parts based on a specified separator.

rsplit()

The rsplit() method in Python is a string method that splits a string into a list of substrings based on the specified delimiter.

rstrip()

The rstrip() method in Python is a string method that removes any trailing whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines) from the right end of a string.

split()
