When the strip is used as a noun, the strip can be said as an act of undressing. However, when it is used as a verb, it means cleaning or clearing out something. But, in terms of the programming language, we are discussing Python stripchar is a built-in function. The stripchar of Python provides a particular character to be removed and also the string from which you want it to be removed. It will remove those characters from the string and will provide you with a new string after stripping out the mentioned character.
Example:
#remove specific characters using strip
my_String=” $$$Helloo$$$”
character_To_Remove=”$”
result=my_String.strip(character_To_Remove) #using strip with specific character to be removed
print(result) # Output: Hello
Example 2:
my_String=”###World###”
character_To_remove=”#”
result=my_String.strip(character_To_Remove) #using strip with specific character to be removed
print(result) #Output: World
Now after having an understanding of the Python stripchar method, it is also imperative to know the workings of string in Python.
In Python, string comparison is performed using logical operators ( ‘==’, ‘!=’,'<‘,'<=’,’>’,’>=’) or through methods like ‘str.compare()’ or ‘str.casefold()’. String comparison follows a certain methodology.
The compare method compares the strings based on their Unicode points and returns an integer as a result. It returns ‘0’ when the strings are equal. It returns a positive value if the calling string is greater than the argument and vice versa is the case with negative value.
if str1=”apple”
str2=”watermelon”
print(str1.compare(str2)) #Output: -1(str1 is less than str2)
The casefold method converts strings to lowercase for case-insensitive comparisons.
str1=”World”
str2=”world”
print(str1.casefold()==str2.casefold()) #Output: True
These methods are used to check whether a string starts or ends with a specified substring or not.
sentence=”Hello beautiful World!”
print(sentence.startsWith(“Hello”)) #Output: True
print(sentence.endsWith(“Hello”)) #Output: False
These methods are used to locate a substring within a string and return its index. find() returns ‘-1’ if the string is not found. However, the index raises an exception if it does not find any value.
sentence=”Beta Programmer is wonderful and informative website”
print(sentence.find(“Programmer”)) #Output : 1 (“At first occurrence”)
print(sentence.index(“is”)) #Output: 16 (“At first occurrence”)
The count method as seen by its name counts the occurrences of a substring within a string.
sentence=”Beta Programmer is wonderful and also is informative website”
print(sentence.count(“is”)) #Output: 2
I would say that strings are sequences of characters enclosed in quotes and offer a wide range of methods for manipulation, formatting and comparison. In addition, the Python stripchar method eliminates leading and trailing characters in a string, primarily whitespaces by default.
