We already have seen that there are a lot of basic types of data in python. In this case we’ll be using strings. Strings allow us to save a series of letters or numbers, in this case the numbers won’t be treated like numbers, just as a character, so we won’t be able to perform mathematical operations with them.<\/p>\n

To define a string we have to use quotation “” or ”.<\/p>\n

example = “Paco”<\/p>\n

example2 = ‘Marquez’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We can analyze this information using several python functions. To calculate the lenght we do this.<\/p>\n

print len(example)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We can also concatenate two strings.<\/p>\n

Concatenation = example + example2<\/p>\n

print(Concatenation)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This would print PacoMarquez.<\/p>\n

We can also repeat a string.<\/p>\n

Repetition = example * 2<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also we can obtain a specific character included in the string.<\/p>\n

nombre = ‘Francisco’<\/p>\n

print nombre[0]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That is the basic information about strings that I will give today, but I have to recognize that there are a lot of things that can be done with this type of data.<\/p>\n

Got some nice information here: https:\/\/www.tutorialspoint.com\/python3\/python_strings.htm<\/a><\/p>
