Python String Operations

Indexing

It is helpful to think of a string as an ordered sequence. Each element in the sequence can be accessed using an index represented by the array of numbers:

The first index can be accessed as follows:

---

[Tip]: Because indexing starts at 0, it means the first index is on the index 

# Print the first element in the string

print(Name[0])

Python Strings

What are Strings?

The following example shows a string contained within 2 quotation marks:

We can also use single quotation marks:

# Use single quotation marks for defining string

'Michael Jackson'

Python Data-Types

Types of objects in Python

Python is an object-oriented language. There are many different types of objects in Python. Let's start with the most common object types: strings, integers and floats. Anytime you write words (text) in Python, you're using character strings (strings for short). The most common numbers, on the other hand, are integers (e.g. -1, 0, 100) and floats, which represent real numbers (e.g. 3.14, -42.0).
