string = "Beta Python: Python for U" n = 5 split_string = [(string[ch:ch+n]) for ch in range(0, len(string), n)] #list comprehension print(split_string) #Output: ['Beta ', 'Pytho', 'n: Py', 'thon ', 'for U'] |
- List comprehension is a compact method that defines a list and its contents at the same time. Its basic syntax consists of a square bracket with an expression that is executed for each element along with for loop to iterate over each element.

str1 = "Beta Python: Python for U" str2 = "tPoU" #using all() subset1 = all(ele in str1 for ele in str2) if subset1: print(f"\'{str2}\' is a subset of \'{str1}\'") else: print(f"\'{str2}\' is not a subset of \'{str1}\'") #Output: 'tPoU' is a subset of 'Beta Python: Python for U' #using issubset() subset2 = set(str2).issubset(str1) if subset2: print(f"\'{str2}\' is a subset of \'{str1}\'") else: print(f"\'{str2}\' is not a subset of \'{str1}\'") #Output: 'tPoU' is a subset of 'Beta Python: Python for U' |
- The all() built-in method returns True If all the elements in the iterable passed are true else it returns False.
- Python treats everything as an object and objects are always true in python. However, null values, None, 0, empty data types are observed as false in python.
- The format() built-in string method returns a formatted representation of the string controlled by the format specifier. The prefix f before a string tells Python that the string is a format string. The replacement fields are expressions enclosed in curly brackets in a format string. They are evaluated at run time and then formatted.
- The backslash (“\”) character used as escape characters, directs the compiler to take a suitable action mapped to character prefixed with it.
- The issubset() built-in method returns True if all the elements of a set are present in the iterable passed else it returns False.

str_list1 = ['Beta ', " " ,'Python', "", ":", 'Python ', " ", 'for', " ", " ", " U"] str_list2 = [ele for ele in str_list1 if ele.strip()] print(str_list2) #Output: ['Beta ', 'Python', ':', 'Python ', 'for', ' U'] |
- The strip() built-in string method removes any spaces present at the beginning and the end of the string.

string = "Beta Python: Python for U" words_count = len(string.split()) print(words_count) #Output: 5 |
- The split() built-in method breaks up a string by the specified separator and returns a list of strings. If a separator is not specified then white space is considered as a separator.
- The len() built-in function returns the number of elements present in a container.
Python program to add leading Zeros to a string

str1 = "BetaPython" #using rjust() str2 = str1.rjust(5 + len(str1), '0') print(str2) #Output: 00000BetaPython #using zfill() str3 = str1.zfill(5 + len(str1)) print(str3) #Output: 00000BetaPython |
- The rjust() built-in string method returns a new string of given length after filling the remaining space on the left side of the original string with the character specified.
- The zfill() built-in string method returns a copy of the string with ‘0’ characters padded to the left side of the original string.

str1 = "BetaPython" #using ljust() str2 = str1.ljust(5 + len(str1), '0') print(str2) #Output: BetaPython00000 #using format() str3 = '{:<015}'.format(str1) print(str3) #Output: BetaPython00000 |
- The ljust() built-in string method returns a new string of given length after filling the remaining space on the right side of the original string with the character specified.
- The operator ‘<‘ is used to left-align the string and fill the remaining space of the length given with the character specified.

str1 = "Beta Python: Python for U" r_swift = 4 l_swift = 3 #using * operator str2 = (str1 *3)[len(str1) + r_swift - l_swift: 2 * len(str1) + r_swift - l_swift] #selectively slicing the string to get required string print(str2) #Output: eta Python: Python for UB #using % operator pos = (r_swift - l_swift) % len(str1) #the mod of the right swift and the left swift difference with length computes the string positions str3 = str1[pos:] + str1[: pos] print(str3) #Output: eta Python: Python for UB |
- The ‘*’ is used to repeat the string for a given number of times when used with a string type.
- Slicing extracts a subset of elements from a sequence. It mainly uses three parameters strat, stop, and step enclosed in square brackets []. Read more: Slicing in python
- The ‘%’ operator(modulus operator) returns the remainder of the left operand by the right.
- The ‘+’ operator concatenates multiple strings to a single string.
