Inputs and Outputs Basics

Working with Strings

String Concatenation

Joining strings together is called string concatenation.

Code
PYTHON

1 a = "Hello" + " " + "World"


2 print(a)

Output

Hello World

Concatenation Errors

String Concatenation is possible only with strings.

Code
PYTHON

1 a = "*" + 10
2 print(a)

Output

File "[Link]", line 1


a = "*" + 10
^
TypeError:
can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

String Repetition

* operator is used for repeating strings any number of times as required.

Code
PYTHON

1 a = "*" * 10
2 print(a)

Output

**********

Code
PYTHON

1 s = "Python"
2 s = ("* " * 3) + s + (" *" * 3)
3 print(s)

Output

* * * Python * * *

Length of String
len() returns the number of characters in a given string.

Code
PYTHON

1 username = input()
2 length = len(username)
3 print(length)

Input

Ravi

Output

Take Input From User

input() allows flexibility to take the input from the user.

input() reads a line of input as a string.

Example - 1:

Code
PYTHON

1 username = input()
2 print(username)

Input

Ajay

Output

Ajay

Example - 2:

Code
PYTHON

1 username = input()
2 age = input()
3 print(username + " is " + age + " years old")

Input

Ravi
10

Output

Ravi is 10 years old

Note

Even though you can't directly combine strings and integers, the code works
because input() returns a string.

input() converts user-entered data (including numbers, booleans, etc) to string. You
will learn more about this in further sessions.

In this case, "10" becomes a string, allowing it to Concatenate and be the part of the
final message.

String Indexing

We can access an individual character in a string using their positions (which start from 0).
These positions are also called as index.

Code
PYTHON

1 username = "Ravi"
2 first_letter = username[0]
3 print(first_letter)

Output

IndexError

Attempting to use an index that is too large will result in an error:

Code
PYTHON

1 username = "Ravi"
2 print(username[4])

Output

[Link] 5/6
