= Python strings
{{tag>python}}
== comp
  * Exact match (equality comparison): ==, !=
  * Partial match: in, not in
  * Forward/backward match: startswith(), endswith()
  * Order comparison: <, <=, >, >=
  * Case-insensitive comparison: upper(), lower()
  * Regex: re.search(), re.fullmatch()

== string formatting
  * string formating[[https://realpython.com/python-string-formatting/]]
    * ''"string%s"%(param1)''
    * ''"string {} {}".format(1parm,2param)''
    * ''"string {1}{2}{1}".format(1param,2param)''
    * interpolación (f-string): ''f"string {name} {a + b}"''
    * Template strings

== f-strings (Literal String Interpolation)
  * To create an f-string, prefix the string with the letter “ f ”. The string itself can be formatted in much the same way that you would with str.format(). F-strings provide a concise and convenient way to embed python expressions inside string literals for formatting.
  * F-strings are faster than the two most commonly used string formatting mechanisms, which are % formatting and str.format().
<code python>
val = 'Geeks'
print(f"{val}for{val} is a portal for {val}.")
</code>
<code python>
import datetime
 
today = datetime.datetime.today()
print(f"{today:%B %d, %Y}")
</code>
Backslash Cannot be used in format string directly.
<code python error>
f"newline: {ord('\n')}"
</code>
<code python correcto>
newline = ord('\n')
 
print(f"newline: {newline}")
</code>
