Learning Python-Basic course: Day 23, String Methods Part-2

Today we cover more about string functions.


String functions are inbuilt methods to modify and change strings. In case you missed yesterday's part, click here.

String functions for GUI.

  • isalpha()- to check if all characters are alphabets.
  • isalnum()- to check if all characters are alphanumeric.
  • isdigit()- to check if all characters are digits.
  • islower()- to check if all characters are lower case.
  • isspace()- to check if all characters are blank spaces.
  • istitle()- to check if all characters follow title rules.
  • isupper()-to check if all characters are upper case.

The methods above are useful especially when we deal with GUI. For example, when we want the users to enter only alphanumeric values for passwords, alphabets for names and only digits for pin-codes These are useful to prevent errors in complex operations like OOP, GUI or file reading which we will cover in the next module.


txt=" Computer Academy"
print(txt)

#Returns True if all characters in the string are alphabets
print("1.", "\tisalpha()\t", txt.isalpha())


#Returns True if all characters in the string are only alphanumeric
txt="Level1"
print("\n",txt)
print("2.", "\tisalnum()\t", txt.isalnum()) 


#Returns True if all characters in the string are digits
txt="1154"
print("\n",txt)
print("3.", "\tisdigit()\t", txt.isdigit()) 


#Returns True if all characters in the string are lower case
txt="computer academy"
print("\n",txt)
print("4.", "\tislower()\t", txt.islower()) 


#Returns True if all characters in the string are whitespaces
txt="computer academy"
print("\n",txt)
print("5.", "\tisspace()\t", txt.isspace()) 


#Returns True if the string follows the rules of a title
txt="Computer Academy"
print("\n",txt)
print("6.", "\tistitle()\t", txt.istitle()) 


#Returns True if all characters in the string are upper case
txt="PYTHON PROGRAMMING"
print("\n",txt)
print("7.", "\tisupper()\t", txt.isupper()) 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output-

 Computer Academy
1.  isalpha()    False

 Level1
2.  isalnum()    True

 1154
3.  isdigit()    True

 computer academy
4.  islower()    True

 computer academy
5.  isspace()    False

 Computer Academy
6.  istitle()    True

 PYTHON PROGRAMMING
7.  isupper()    True

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
