Greetings! In today's lesson, we'll explore Python's string methods: split(), join(), strip(), and learn how to perform type conversions. Python's robust built-in string methods simplify text processing, enhancing the readability and efficiency of our code.
Constructing strings frequently entails dividing them into smaller sections or 'tokens'. The split() function in Python achieves this goal by breaking a string into a list of substrings using a specified delimiter. If no delimiter is provided, it splits the string by a single whitespace character.
In the example above, we observe that split() divides sentence into words. We can also opt for different delimiters, such as a comma.
Conversely, Python's join() method concatenates, or 'joins', strings into a single string:
