Python for Everybody(PY4E) Chapter6 Strings

小白自学Python，仅做个人学习记录。

Exercise 1: Write a while loop that starts at the last character in thestring and works its way backwards to the first character in the string,printing each letter on a separate line, except backwards.

from operator import index


your_string = 'adsfgaeqgasdhergherhre'

index = -1

while index >= -(len(your_string)):
    letter = your_string[index]
    print(letter)
    index = index - 1

Exercise 3: Encapsulate this code in a function named count, andgeneralize it so that it accepts the string and the letter as arguments.

def CountString(your_string, letter):
    count = 0
    for letter_you_need in your_string:
        if letter_you_need == letter:
            count += 1
    print(count) 

CountString('AppDataaaa2022pythonexe', 'e')

Exercise 4: There is a string method calledcount that is similar to the function in theprevious exercise. Read the documentationof this method at:https://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods

Write an invocation that counts thenumber of times the letter a occurs in"banana".

line = 'banana'

count_num = line.count('a', 2, 5)

print(count_num)

Exercise 5: Take the following Python codethat stores a string:

str = 'X-DSPAM-Confidence:0.8475'

Use find and string slicing to extract theportion of the string after the coloncharacter and then use the float functionto convert the extracted string into afloating point number.

mystr = 'X-DSPAM-Confidence:0.8475'

atpos = mystr.find(':')

host = mystr[atpos+1:]

print(host)
print(float(host))
