‘ag Whats a Library ? ‘45 importing Modules in a Python Program ‘44. Using Python Standard Library's Functions and Modules 45 creating a Python Library INTRODUCTION ‘You all must have read and enjoyed a lot of book: books etc. And, if you recall, all these book type Don’t be ~all these book types are further divided into chapters. Can you tell, why is this done ? Yeah, you are right. Putting all the pages of one book or novel together, with no chapters, will make the book boring and difficult to comprehend. So, dividing a bigger unit into smaller manageable units is a good strategy. Similarly, in programming, if we create smaller handleable gyre units, these are called modules, A related term is library here, A story books, novels, course-books, reference have one thing in common. Confused ? Q library refers to a collection of modules that together cater to A nese i type of needs or applications ¢.g., NumPy library of sone font Ee caters to scientific computing needs, In this chapter, applications epi We shall talk about using some Python libraries as well as iting own libraries/modules.ANCE wiry . ; ) based on given string or character split strings as members word> ) ~ replaces a word or part of the Letus understand and use these string functions practically.
