This document discusses various ways of formatting output and manipulating strings in Python. It covers using print formatting to control number formatting, using f-strings for formatted output, calculating string length, concatenating strings, repeating strings, and converting between numbers and strings. The key methods and operators discussed include print formatting (% and .format()), f-strings, len(), +, *, str(), int(), and float().

Strings
• What is the difference between the
following two instructions:
– Go write your name on the board
– Go write "your name" on the board

7
Strings
• Text consists of characters: letters,
numbers, punctuation, spaces, and so on.
• A string is a sequence of characters. For
example, the string "Hello" is a sequence
of five characters.

8
String Types
• strings in print statements
– print("Hello")
• A string can be stored in a variable
• greeting = "Hello”
• String can be accessed
– print(greeting)

9
String Literal
• A string literal denotes a particular string
(such as "Hello").
• String literals are specified by enclosing a
sequence of characters within a matching
pair of either single or double quotes.
– print("This is a string.", 'So is this.')
– message = 'He said "Hello"'

10
String Length
• The number of characters in a string is
called the length of the string.
– the length of "Harry" is 5.
• Compute the length of a string
– length = len("World!") # length is 6
• A string of length 0 is called the empty
string. It contains no characters and is
written as "" or ''.
11
String Concatenation
• Given two strings, such as "Harry" and
"Morgan", you can concatenate them to
one long string. In Python, you use the +
operator to concatenate two strings.
– firstName = "Harry"
– lastName = "Morgan"
– name = firstName + lastName
– results in the string
• "HarryMorgan"

12
String Concatenation
• name = firstName + " " + lastName
– "Harry Morgan”
• When the expression to the left or the right
of a + operator is a string, the other one
must also be a string or a syntax error will
occur.

13
String Repetition
• You can also produce a string that is the
result of repeating a string multiple times.
• For example,
– dashes = "-" * 50
• A string of any length can be repeated
using the * operator.
– message = "Echo..."
– print(message * 5)
will result
– Echo...Echo...Echo...Echo...Echo… 14
Converting Between Numbers
and Strings
• name = "Agent " + 1729 # Error: Can only
concatenate strings
• Now try this:
– id = 1729
– name = "Agent " + str(id)
• The str function can also be used to
convert a floating-point value to a string.

15
Converting Between Numbers
and Strings
• Conversely, to turn a string containing a
number into a numerical value, use the int
and float functions:
– id = int("1729")
– price = float("17.29")
