Python Strings

This lesson is part of Python · All levels

Summary

Strings are a type of data for storing text and are made with single or double quotes. Each character in a string has an index that starts at 0, so we can access or cut out the text using indexing and slicing. Python also provides many built-in methods such as upper(), strip(), and split() to facilitate text processing.

Key points

Strings are made with single or double quotes and the two are equivalent.
The first character index is 0, while the index -1 refers to the last.
Slicing s[start:end] takes the character's cut to before the end.
Inbuilt methods such as len(), upper(), lower(), and strip() process text.
