 Strings in python are surrounded by either single quotation marks, or double
quotation marks.

 'hello' is the same as "hello".

 You can display a string literal with the print() function:

 Example

 print("Hello")
print('Hello')
 Assigning a string to a variable is done with the variable name followed by an equal
sign and the string:

 Example

 a = "Hello"
print(a)
 You can assign a multiline string to a variable by using three quotes:

 Example

 You can use three double quotes:

 a = """UEH,

 3I,

 Lap trinh can ban."""


print(a)

 Or three single quotes:

 Example

 a = ''' UEH,

 3I,

 Lap trinh can ban.'''


print(a)
 Example

 Get the character at position 1 (remember that the first character has the position
0):

 a = "Hello, World"
print(a[1]) #index
 To get the length of a string, use the len() function.
Example
 The len() function returns the length of a string:
 a = "Hello, World!"
 print(len(a))
 To check if a certain phrase or character is present in a string, we can use the keyword in.
Example
 Check if "free" is present in the following text:
 txt = "The best things in life are free!"
 print("free" in txt)
Check if NOT
 To check if a certain phrase or character is NOT present in a string, we can use the keyword not in.
Example
 Check if "expensive" is NOT present in the following text:
 txt = "The best things in life are free!"
 print("expensive" not in txt)
 You can return a range of characters by using the slice syntax.

 Specify the start index and the end index, separated by a colon, to return a part of
the string.

 Example

 Get the characters from position 2 to position 5 (not included):

 b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[2:5])
 By leaving out the start index, the range will start at the first character:

 Example

 Get the characters from the start to position 5 (not included):

 b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[:5])
 By leaving out the end index, the range will go to the end:

 Example

 Get the characters from position 2, and all the way to the end:

 b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[2:])
 Use negative indexes to start the slice from the end of the string:

 Example

 Get the characters:

 From: "o" in "World!" (position -5)

 To, but not included: "d" in "World!" (position -2):

 b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[-5:-2])
To concatenate, or combine, two strings you can use the + operator.
Example
Merge variable a with variable b into variable c:
a = "Hello"
b = "World"
c=a+b
print(c)
Example
To add a space between them, add a " ":
a = "Hello"
b = "World"
c=a+""+b
print(c)
 count()
 find()
 isalnum()
 isalpha()
 isdigit()
 islower()
 isnumeric()
 isupper()
 lower()
 replace()
 split()
 upper()
