Python String Methods
Python provides a lot of built-in functions for manipulating strings. String in Python is immutable, so all these functions return a new string and the original string remains unchanged. You do not have to memorize all of these functions that we will mention in this article. All you have to know is how to use these functions and what they can do. All of these functions are present by default in the str class inside the builtins.py file, which is included in the Python interpreter.

If no character is passed in the 'character' argument, blank white spaces will be added. With a number passed to the length argument to specify the total number of characters for the string. | read more |
| rstrip() | The rstrip() function returns a copy of the string with the last characters removed from the end of the string (depending on the passed character argument). This means that the rstrip() function removes all the specified characters from the right side of the string. If no argument is passed, it removes blank spaces from the right side. | read more |
| strip() | The strip() function returns a copy of the string with the characters removed from the beginning and end of the string. (From the right and the left). Depending on the character argument being passed. | read more |
| lstrip() | The lstrip() function returns a copy of the string with the leading characters removed (depending on the passed character argument). If no argument is passed, it removes the leading blank spaces from the left. | read more |
| expandtabs() | The expandtabs() function returns a new string with the "\t" tabs replaced with blank spaces. That is, the expandtabs() function specifies the amount of empty space to be replaced by the "\t" tabs in the string | read more |
| swapcase() | The swapcase() function converts all uppercase letters to lowercase and vice versa. That is, it converts text strings written in lowercase letters to uppercase letters. Text strings written in uppercase to lowercase letters | read more |
| join() | The join() function is a Python built-in function used to join elements of a sequence. It returns a new string. It can be used with many data types List , Tuple , String , etc | read more |
