Programming with

PYTHON
 Strings are Arrays Like many other popular
programming languages, strings in Python are

String
arrays of bytes representing unicode
characters.

However, Python does not have a character

String Slicing 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.

Useful Function

Note:-
Len() is function And rest are method().
Method are always accessed with . DOT
Replace() method (String)

Note:- Replaces spaces in text with underscore

Replace() method (String)
find() Method in String
find() Method in String

Note:-
Count from h which is in position 0
and I of is at 3rd position.
find() Method in String

Note:- Here it starts counting from

5th position if is comes before it, It
wont be counted.
String are immutable
Note:-
Here ‘j’ of john
string have been
replaced with ‘y’
and it is printed but
it haven’t changed
original string it
have created a new
string while original
string remains
same un changed
(Immutable)
replace() with string
List
Finding elements
Lists are used to store multiple items in a single variable. 

Lists are one of 4 built-in data types in Python used to store

collections of data, the other 3 are Tuple, Set, and Dictionary, all
with different qualities and usage.

a list is created by placing all the items (elements) inside square

brackets [] , separated by commas.

It can have any number of items and they may be of different

types (integer, float, string etc.).

A list can also have another list as an item. This is called a

nested list.
Finding elements in List
Useful Function In List : Count()

Note:-
Used to count specific items in list
Useful Function In List : Sort()
Useful Function In List : Clear()

Note :- it clears all the contents of

the list
Useful Function In List : Copy()
Concatenating List
Useful Function In List : extend()
