- Operations on string in Python -

String:

A string is a list of characters. · It can be a combination of alphabets, numbers, punctuation, or can even include space. · In python, anything enclosed between “ “ or ‘ ‘ is considered a string.

In the below given beautiful phrase from “Winnie-the-pooh”

How many times the words ‘than you’ is repeated? 3

How many words are there in this sentence? 18

How many sub sentences are in this phrase? 4

How many words end with ‘er’ in this phrase? 4

This is an example of how we can manipulate a sentence. Now suppose it's an article that spans pages. Will it be easy to manipulate it manually? That’s where string manipulation functions help us.

If ‘str’ is a string variable, · str[0] refers to first character, · str[1] refers to the second character, and so on. · Finally str[len-1] refers to the last character where ‘len’ is the length of the string.

Some other useful and most commonly used string functions are :

Let’s check out how we can analyze the few lines of the book “Charlie and the chocolate factory” by Roald Dahl and print out a report on it.

Print the title of the book “Charlie and the chocolate factory” and then store the few lines of the book in a variable and print it.

Note:

use “ and “”” · For storing multi-lines

use “””. · For storing single line use “ or ‘

Let's see how Python can help us how many characters are there in the story snippet above.

No. of the lines in the paragraph ..Do you think it will be more than 5?

Let’s find out. No. of sentences = No. of ‘. 'Isn’t it?

Print characters in word chocolate in separate lines.

Output:

Program to Check if the word entered by the user is a palindrome. (ie reads the same from both sides .eg: madam)

Print the number of vowels in the story name.

- Animating characters using pygame -

If you see closely you can see that the mickey mouse animation is made out of a lot of shapes. But to create something like this we need to make a very complex code. The other way around it is to use an image, other than the basic shapes, pygame also can show images. Using images : Steps to use images in my game: > find the image you want to use > move it to the directory where you have created your code > import/load image To load the image we will first create an object and then use the image. load method to add the image to the object. here, we have created an object called an image. We then use the "pygame.image.load" to find the file in the directory ocean.png has to be replaced with the filename of your file. To place the object on a particular point of the screen we use the blit function. this function means that we are going to add the image onto the screen at position 0,0 mickey mouse is winking Usi...

- For loop in Python -

Loops: Loops are control structures used to repeat a given section of code ● a certain number of times or ● until a particular condition is met. How do we keep ourselves fit nowadays? We must be doing some exercises ..right? The steps followed in doing the exercise are repeated many times ..isn’t it? Depending on the fitness level of the person, he can choose to repeat a step 10,20, or even 100 times. Now suppose, you want to write a program to simulate exercise steps. Is it feasible to write the same steps again and again? Also, how many times does it has to be repeated changes from person to person. Looping structures come to our rescue in such scenarios. Duplicating lines can be eliminated by repeating them a required number of times. ‘ for’ loop ‘for loops’ are used when you have a block of code that you want to repeat a fixed number of times. A series of numbers within a given range. Note : ● A range has 3 parameters -start, end, ste...

-List Slicing in Python-

List Slicing : Slicing helps in creating a new list from an existing list. Syntax list_name [start :end:step] Suppose you have a list of Avengers, arranged in the order of your preference. avengers=[“Iron Man”,”Thor”,”Hulk”,”Spider Man”,”Captain America”,”Black Panther”,”Hawk Eye”,”Vision”,”Black Widow”] Later you decide to split them into a separate list like favourite=[“Iron Man”,”Thor”,”Hulk”] less_favourite =[”Spider Man”,”Captain America”,”Black Panther”] least_favourite=[”Hawk Eye”,”Vision”,”Black Widow”] Now, we have 3 lists formed from the main list. Would you want to create these lists again from the beginning? This is where list slicing helps us. Here is the code to G...
