Strings

  • ' ' and " " are the same

  • chr(ord('a')+1) to add one to 'a' and get 'b'

  • Python 3 has strings be unicode, 2 byte character

" ".join(["jorge", "sucks"]) #=> "jorge sucks"

Formatting

Python 3 handles {} others need {0}

`"Hi {} there {}".format(firstP, secondP)`
'{:02d}'.format(i) #print with 2 places

"My quest is {name}".format(name="jorge")             # References keyword argument 'name'

# 3.6
f"Hello, {name}. You are {age}."
  • Returns a single string with {} replaced

r"..." = raw

still string, but treats backslashes as literals instead of escape characters

u"...." = Unicode

Check proper

'a'.isalpha()
'1'.isdigit()

Get lists

string.ascii_uppercase

Other

x.startswith("Start")
