String Slicing




String Slicing 


However, sometimes we might want to take part of a string to use it somewhere else. Sometimes, we might want to look at just the first letter of a string or chop it into chunks

Eg:

myString = "Hello there my friend."

print(myString[0])


# This code outputs the 'H' from 'Hello' 


The Secret Third Argument


 Eg:

myString = "Hello there my friend."
print(myString[0:6:2])
# This code outputs 'Hlo' (every second character from 'Hello'). 

myString = "Hello there my friend."
print(myString[::-1])
#This code reverses the string, outputting '.dneirf ym ereht olleH' 

Split 

myString = "Hello there my friend."
print(myString.split())
#This code outputs ['Hello', 'there', 'my', 'friend.']

CONTINUE COMMAND AND EXIT LINE

  The Continue Command  The  continue  command stops executing code in the loop and starts at the top of the loop again. Essentially, we want to kick the user back to the original question. EXAMPLE : while True:   print("You are in a corridor, do you go left or right?")   direction = input("> ")   if direction == "left":     print("You have fallen to your death")     break   elif direction == "right":     continue   else:     print("Ahh! You're a genius, you've won") NOTE :  The  else  statement refers to any input besides left or right (up or esc). Since the user is a winner, we do  not  want to use  break  or it would say they have failed.  EXIT  COMMAND LINE  The previous code continues to loop even after the user has won. Let's fix that with the  exit()  command EXAMPLE: print("Let's play chutes and ladders. Pick ladder or chute.") while...

FOR LOOP , RANGE

  FOR LOOP  A  while  loop is perfect to use when we  don't  know how many times we want the loop to repeat.  If we have an idea of how many times we want the loop to repeat, we can use a  for  loop to loop code in exactly the same way the  while  loop did.  EXAMPLE :  for counter in range(10):   print(counter) RANGE  The  range  function creates a list of numbers in the range you create. If you only give it one number, it will start at  0  and move to a state where the final number is  one less  than the number in the brackets. In this case, the final number would be  9 .  EXAMPLE :  total = 0 for number in range(100) :   total += number   print(total)

WHAT IS WHILE TRUE LOOP AND TO STOP THE LOOP

  while True Loop EXAMPLE  (THIS WILL NOT STOP) :  while True:   print("This program is running") print("Aww, I was having a good time 😭")  MAKE IT STOP  There is a way to stop the loop with the word  break . This exits the loop and stops all code at that point. Even if there is more code written after  break  that is  inside  the loop.  EXAMPLE :   while True:   print("This program is running")   goAgain = input("Go again?: ")   if goAgain == "no":     break print("Aww, I was having a good time 😭")
