Strings & text
Format, split, join, and clean Python strings — the bread and butter of everyday scripts.
F-string formatting
Embed variables and expressions inside readable f-strings.
name = "Ada"
score = 97.5
label = f"{name} scored {score:.1f}%"
print(label)
print(f"Next year: {2026 + 1}")Split and join words
Turn a sentence into tokens, then rebuild it with a custom separator.
raw = "python split join example"
words = raw.split()
print(words)
joined = "-".join(words)
print(joined)
csv_line = "red,green,blue"
colors = csv_line.split(",")
print(" | ".join(colors))Strip and normalize text
Remove stray whitespace and compare user input reliably.
messy = " Hello, Python! \n"
clean = messy.strip()
print(repr(clean))
user = " YES "
if user.strip().lower() == "yes":
print("Confirmed")Browse by section
Each section groups closely related Python snippets.
