An empty string is different from a null value, which is a special value representing the absence of any object. An empty string can be used in various ways, such as initializing a string variable or checking if a string is empty. The most elegant way to check if a string is empty in Python is to simply use the Boolean evaluation of the string. Here are some examples: Using ... Read More

In this article, we are going to see how to check if multiple strings exist in another string in Python. Imagine a scenario where we must satisfy 50 requirements in order to work. To determine whether conditions are true, we typically employ conditional statements (if, if−else, elif, nested if). However, with so many conditions, the code grows long and unreadable due to the excessive use of if statements. Python's any() function is the only option for such circumstances, thus programmers must use it. The first approach is by writing a function to check for any multiple strings’ existence and then ...

In this article, we are going to find out how to execute a string containing Python code in Python. To execute a string containing Python code we should take the input string as multi-line input using triple quotes, then we will use the inbuilt function exec(). This will take a string as input and returns the output of the code that is present inside the string. The exec() function is used to execute Python programmes dynamically. These programmes can be either strings or object code. If it's a string, it's translated into a series of Python statements that are then ... Read More

In this article, we are going to find out how to get a function name as a string in Python. The first approach is by using the function property __name__. This property will return the name of the function when the property is called. This is only present in Python 3.x version. Python does not have a main() function, so when the command to run a Python program is given to the interpreter, the level 0 indented code will be executed. Before that, though, it will define a few unique variables. One such unique variable is __name__. The interpreter sets ... Read More

In Python, a string is a sequence of characters. It's a type of data that represents text values, such as words, sentences, or even entire documents. Strings in Python are enclosed in either single quotes ('...') or double quotes ("..."), and can include alphanumeric characters, symbols, whitespace, and more. As an immutable object, a string's ID cannot be changed in Python. As long as a new string that has the same value as the original string (valid only for small string literals), the ID of both the strings will remain same. In Python, small string literals (strings with only ... Read More

You generate random strings with upper case letters and digits in Python. Here are three different ways to do it: Using random.choices() and string.ascii_uppercase In this method, we will use the random.choices() function to randomly choose characters from the string.ascii_uppercase and string.digits strings to generate a random string. Example We first import the random and string modules, which we will use to generate random characters and create strings, respectively. We define the length of the random string we want to generate (in this example, it's 10). We define the possible characters that can be used to create the random string, ... Read More
