Methods and Concatenation

Methods

In this practice, you´ll learn some methods to modify a string

In this case, to use the string methods we´ll have to call them in this way

. + method name + ()

The methods that in this practice are going to be reviewed are

• .capitalize()

  • Converts the first character of the string in uppercase

• .upper()

  • Converts the whole string in uppercase

• .lower()

  • Converts the whole string in lowercase

• .title()

  • Capitalizes the first letter of every word of the string in

For example:

x = "hello"
print(x.upper())

Exercises

• Try printing different types of strings using the previously mentioned methods

• Try printing variables with methods and use methods inside printing statements

Concatenation

Concatenating strings and different types of data in Python is used for many things such as combining variables with immovable text

For example

x = "Costa Rica"
print("I love " + x)

Exercises

• Try different types of values on variables

• Try concatenating with different methods

Solution of Exercise number 2

x = "abraham lincoln"
y = "uNiTed sTatEs"

print(x.title() + " was president of the " + y.title())
