Strings

edit 
 # This program demonstrates string functions.
 
 
 def main():
     string = "Hello"
 
     print("string: " + string)
     print("string.lower(): " + string.lower())
     print("string.upper(): " + string.upper())
     print("string.find('e'): " + str(string.find('e')))
     print("len(string): " + str(len(string)))
     print("string.replace('H', 'j'): " + string.replace('H', 'j')) 
     print("string[::-1]: " + string[::-1])
     print("string[2:4]: " + string[2:4])
     print("string.strip('H'): " + string.strip('H'))
 
     name = "Bob"
     value = 123.456
     print("string.format(): {0} earned ${1:.2f}".format(name, value))
 
 
 main()

Output

edit 
string: Hello
string.lower(): hello
string.upper(): HELLO
string.find('e'): 1
len(string): 5
string.replace('H', 'j'): jello
string[::-1]: olleH
string[2:4]: ll
string.strip('H'): ello
string.format(): Bob earned $123.46

Files

edit 
 # This program creates a file, adds data to the file, displays the file,
 # appends more data to the file, displays the file, and then deletes the file.
 # It will not run if the file already exists.
