String Methods
In this lesson, you will learn about the different methods of the string object in Python.
We'll cover the following
String methods introduction
A string is another type of object in Python. Most of the things you can do with strings involve using methods, and not functions. They have the form:
string.method(arguments)
There are a lot of string methods. Many of the most useful ones are listed in the appendix. Here, we discuss only a couple of the most useful and/or confusing string methods.
Splitting strings
For splitting strings in Python, we use the split()
method. Over here, the string1.split(string2)
command returns a list of the substrings of string1
that are separated by string2
. The string2
argument is totally optional. If it is omitted, whitespace is used as the separator.
