Strings
Python strings (str) are sequences of characters, and like lists, they support indexing and slicing. Python also has one of the most readable ways to format strings: f-strings.
💡 Key insight
Python strings are immutable, just like in Java — every 'modifying' method actually returns a brand new string.
Syntax
syntax
name = "text"
name[0] # first character
name[0:3] # slice
f"Hello, {name}!"Example
len() gives the character count, and f-strings (f"...") let you embed variables directly inside the string.
py
name = "CodeyHub"
print(f"Name: {name}")
print("Length:", len(name))
print("Upper:", name.upper())outputName: CodeyHub
Length: 8
Upper: CODEYHUB
