Learn Python Python Modify Strings

In Python, strings come with many built-in methods that allow you to modify, clean, and transform text easily. Since strings are immutable, modification always returns a new string instead of changing the original one.

Upper Case (`upper()`)

The upper() method converts all characters in a string to uppercase.

Lower Case (`lower()`)

The lower() method converts all characters to lowercase.

Remove Whitespace (`strip()`)

The strip() method removes extra spaces from the beginning and end of a string.

Replace String (`replace()`)

The replace() method replaces a part of the string with another string.

Split String (`split()`)

The split() method breaks a string into a list based on a separator.

Capitalize First Letter (`capitalize()`)

The capitalize() method converts the first character to uppercase.

Title Case (`title()`)

The title() method converts the first letter of each word to uppercase.

Remove Specific Characters (`lstrip()` and `rstrip()`)

lstrip() removes characters from the left
rstrip() removes characters from the right
