Growing New Strings with String equipment although there’s a brand new suggestion at paintings right here, the code remains to be beautiful comprehensible. look at the road: print(quote. upper()) you can most likely wager what it does: print a model of quote in all uppercase letters. the road does this by using a string procedure, upper(). A string strategy is like a capability a string has. So, quote has the power to create a brand new string, a capitalized model of itself, via its upper() strategy. whilst it does this, it returns this new string, and the road turns into resembling the subsequent line: Chapter 2 • kinds, Variables, and easy I/O: The lifeless trivialities application 37 print("I imagine there's a global marketplace for might be 5 desktops. ") Now, the road of code is rarely like this, yet you could reflect on it during this approach to assist you know the way the tactic works. You’ve most likely spotted the parentheses during this approach name. it's going to remind you of features. tools are just like features. the most distinction is integrated functionality, like input(), will be referred to as by itself. yet a string approach needs to be known as via a specific string. It is senseless to simply variety the subsequent: print(upper()) You kick off a style, or invoke it, via including a dot, by way of the identify of the strategy, via a couple of parentheses, after a string price. The parentheses aren’t only for exhibit. As with services, you could go arguments within them. upper() doesn’t take any arguments, yet you’ll see an instance of a string approach that does with replace(). the road print(quote. lower()) invokes the lower() approach to quote to create an all-lowercase-letters model of the string, which the strategy returns. Then, that new, lowercase string is outlined. the road print(quote. title()) prints a model of quote that’s like a identify. The title() strategy returns a string the place the 1st letter of every note is capitalized and the remainder of the string is in lowercase. the road print(quote. replace("five", "millions of")) prints a brand new string, the place each incidence of "five" in quote is changed with "millions of". the tactic replace() wishes at the very least items of knowledge: the outdated textual content to get replaced, and the hot textual content that replaces it. You separate the 2 arguments with a comma. you could upload an non-compulsory 3rd argument, an integer, that tells the tactic the utmost variety of occasions to make the substitute. ultimately, this system prints quote back, with print("\nOriginal quote is still:") print(quote) 38 Python Programming for absolutely the newbie, 3rd variation you will see from determine 2. eight that quote hasn’t replaced. take into account, string tools create a brand new string. They don’t impact the unique one. desk 2. three summarizes the string equipment you’ve simply obvious, besides a couple of others. desk 2. three beneficial STRING equipment strategy Description upper() lower() swapcase() Returns the uppercase model of the string. Returns the lowercase model of the string. Returns a brand new string the place the case of every letter is switched. Uppercase turns into lowercase and lowercase turns into uppercase.
