Differentiate between the following:

i) find() and index()

find() index()
• It returns the lowest index in the string • It returns the lowest index where the
where the substring sub is found specified substring is found.
within the slice range of start and end.
• It returns 1 if the substring is not
found.
• Syntax:
<string>.find(sub[,st[,end]]) • Syntax:
• Example: <string>.index(sub[,start[,end]])
string= ‘it goes as- ringa ringa roses’ • Example:
sub= ‘ringa’ ‘abracadabra’.index(‘ab’)
string.find(sub) o/t
o/t 0
13

‘HELLO’ ‘hello’
string2.upper() string2.lower()
‘THERE’ ‘there’
string3.upper() string3.lower()
‘GOLDY’ ‘goldy’
string4.upper() string4.lower()
‘U123’ ‘123f’
string5.upper()

v) startswith() and endswith()

startswith() endswith()
• Returns True if the string starts with • Returns True if the string ends with
the substring sub, otherwise returns the substring sub, otherwise returns
False. False.
