Read the first 6 PCEP String Operations and Methods flashcards as text

  1. What is the output of `'Python'[-1]`?

    Answer: n

    Negative indexing starts from the end; `-1` refers to the last character, which is 'n'.

  2. What does `'hello' in 'hello world'` evaluate to?

    Answer: True

    The `in` operator returns `True` if the left string is a substring of the right string.

  3. Which string method checks if a string starts with a specified prefix?

    Answer: startswith()

    `startswith(prefix)` returns `True` if the string begins with the given prefix.

  4. What is the result of `str(42)`?

    Answer: '42'

    `str()` converts an integer to its string representation, resulting in the string '42'.

  5. What does `'Hello World'.count('l')` return?

    Answer: 3

    `count()` returns the number of non-overlapping occurrences; 'l' appears 3 times in 'Hello World'.

  6. What is the output of `'abc' * 0`?

    Answer: ''

    Multiplying a string by 0 produces an empty string because the string is repeated zero times.
