    String Methods
     Strings, revisited
     Objects and their methods
     Indexing and slicing
     Some commonly used string methods
    Remember: What is a string?
     A string is a sequence of zero or more characters
     A string is delimited (begins and ends) by single or double
    quotes
    poem = 'Ode to a Nightingale'
    lyric = "Roll on, Columbia, roll on"
    exclamation = "That makes me !#? "
     The empty string has zero characters ('' or "")
    Quote characters in strings
     You can include a single quote in a double quoted string or
    a double quote in a single quoted string
    will = "All the world's a stage"
    ben = 'BF: "A penny saved is a penny earned"'
     To put a single quote in a single quoted string, precede it
    with the backslash ('\') or 'escape' character.
    >>> will = 'All the world\'s a stage'
    >>> print(will)
    All the world's a stage
     The same goes for double quotes
    >>> ben = "BF: \"A penny saved is a penny earned\""
    >>> print(ben)
    BF: "A penny saved is a penny earned"
    Putting a format character in a string
     A format character is interpreted by the print() function to
    change the layout of text
     To put a format character in a string, precede it with the
    backslash ('\')
     A newline is represented by '\n'
    >>> juliette = 'Good night, good night\nParting is such sweet sorrow'
    >>> print(juliette)
    Good night, good night
    Parting is such sweet sorrow
     A tab is represented by '\t'
    >>> tabs = 'col0\tcol1\tcol2'
    >>> print(tabs)
    col0 col1 col2
    Index of string characters
     The first character of a string has index 0
    >>> greeting = 'hello, world'
    >>> greeting[0]
    'h'
    >>> 'hello, world'[0]
    'h'
     You can also count back from the end of a string,
    beginning with -1
    >>> greeting = 'hello, world'
    >>> greeting[-1]
    'd'
    >>> 'hello, world'[-1]
    'd'
    Slicing a string
     You can use indexes to slice (extract a piece of) a string
     aStr[i:j] is the substring that begins with index i and ends
    with (but does not include) index j
    >>> greeting = 'hello, world'
    >>> greeting[1:3]
    'el'
    >>> greeting[-3:-1]
    'rl'
     omit begin or end to mean 'as far as you can go'
    >>> print(greeting[:4], greeting[7:])
    hell world
     aStr[i:j:k] is the same, but takes only every k-th character
    >>> greeting[3:10:2]
    'l,wr'
    Index/slice a string vs index/slice a list
    How they're the same and how they're different

     SAME:
     You can index a list or string by providing an integer
    index value, beginning with 0 from the left or -1 from
    the right [i].
     You can slice a list or string by providing begin and
    end values ([i:j]) or begin, end and step values ([i:j:k])
     You can omit begin or end ([:j] or [i:]) to mean 'as far
    as you can go'
    List index vs string index (continued)
     DIFFERENT:
     if you reference a single element of a list with the index
    operator ([i]), its type is the type of that element
    >>> abc = ['a', 'b', 'c']
    >>> abc[0]
    'a'
    >>> type(abc[0])
    <class 'str'>
     If you slice (extract a piece of) a list with begin and end
    ([i:j]) values, you get a sublist (type list)
    >>> abc[0:2]
    ['a', 'b']
    >>> type(abc[0:2])
    <class 'list'>
    String methods
     A method is a function that is bundled together with a
    particular type of object
     A string method is a function that works on a string
     This is the syntax of a method:
    anObject.methodName(parameterList)
     For example,
    >>> 'avocado'.index('a')
    0
    returns the index of the first 'a' in 'avocado'
     You can also use a variable of type string
    >>> fruit = 'avocado'
    >>> fruit.index('a')
    0
    Method parameters
     Like any function, a method has zero or more parameters
     Even if the parameter list is empty, the method still works
    on the 'calling' object:
    >>> 's'.isupper()
    False
     Here is a string method that takes two parameters:
    >>> aStr = 'my cat is catatonic'
    >>> aStr.replace('cat', 'dog')
    'my dog is dogatonic'
    Strings are immutable
     A string is immutable -- once created it can not be
    modified
     When a string method returns a string, it is a different
    object; the original string is not changed
    >>> aStr = 'my cat is catatonic'
    >>> newStr = aStr.replace('cat', 'dog')
    >>> newStr
    'my dog is dogatonic'
    >>> aStr
    'my cat is catatonic'
     However, you can associate the old string name with the
    new object
    >>> aStr = 'my cat is catatonic'
    >>> aStr = aStr.replace('cat', 'dog')
    >>> aStr
    'my dog is dogatonic'

    Python Programming can be used to process text data for the requirements in various textual
    data analysis. A very important area of application of such text processing ability of python is
    for NLP. NLP is used in search engines, newspaper feed analysis and more recently for voice -
    based applications like Siri and Alexa. Python's NLTK is a group of libraries that can be used
    for creating such Text Processing systems.
