Python Strings:

Strings in Python are identified as a continuous set of characters in between quotation marks.

Python allows for either pairs of single or double quotes. Subsets of strings can be taken using the slice operator ([] and [:]) with indexes starting at 0 in the beginning of the string and working their way from -1 at the end.

Example:

#!/usr/bin/python

Str = ‘Hello World!’

print str                        # Prints complete string.

print str[0]                    #Prints first character of the string.

print str[2:5]                 #Prints characters starting from 3^rd to 6^th.

print str[2:]                   #Prints string starting from 3^rd character.

print str * 2                   #Prints string two times.

print str + “Test”          #Prints concatenated string

This will produce following result:

Hello World!

H

llo World!

Hello World!Hello World!

Hello World!TEST
