Have you ever found yourself struggling with manipulating strings in your code? Do you find it challenging to extract or replace specific parts of text data? Look no further! This article will introduce you to some fundamental yet powerful string operation techniques that can help simplify your programming tasks. We’ll use Python as our primary language, but these concepts are applicable to other languages too.
So let’s get started!
What Are Strings?
Strings are sequences of characters enclosed within single quotes (‘ ‘) or double quotes (“ “) in Python. They can contain letters, numbers, spaces, punctuation marks, and symbols. Here’s an example of a string:

full_greeting = greeting + ', ' + name + '!'
print(full_greeting)…
