String Validators-HackerRank Solution

 String Validators-HackerRank Solution

 Python has built-in string validation methods for basic data. It can check if a string is composed of alphabetical characters, alphanumeric characters, digits, etc.

str.isalnum()
This method checks if all the characters of a string are alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z and 0-9).

>>> print 'ab123'.isalnum()
True
>>> print 'ab123#'.isalnum()
False

---

str.isalpha()
This method checks if all the characters of a string are alphabetical (a-z and A-Z).

>>> print 'abcD'.isalpha()
True
>>> print 'abcd1'.isalpha()
False

---

str.isdigit()
This method checks if all the characters of a string are digits (0-9).

>>> print '1234'.isdigit()
True
>>> print '123edsd'.isdigit()
False

---

str.islower()
This method checks if all the characters of a string are lowercase characters (a-z).

>>> print 'abcd123#'.islower()
True
>>> print 'Abcd123#'.islower()
False

---

str.isupper()
This method checks if all the characters of a string are uppercase characters (A-Z).

>>> print 'ABCD123#'.isupper()
True
>>> print 'Abcd123#'.isupper()
False

---

Task

You are given a string .
Your task is to find out if the string  contains: alphanumeric characters, alphabetical characters, digits, lowercase and uppercase characters.

Input Format

A single line containing a string .

Constraints

Output Format

In the first line, print True if  has any alphanumeric characters. Otherwise, print False.
In the second line, print True if  has any alphabetical characters. Otherwise, print False.
In the third line, print True if  has any digits. Otherwise, print False.
In the fourth line, print True if  has any lowercase characters. Otherwise, print False.
In the fifth line, print True if  has any uppercase characters. Otherwise, print False.

Sample Input

qA2

Sample Output

True
True
True

Find a string-HackerRank Solution

Find a string-HackerRank Solution

In this challenge, the user enters a string and a substring. You have to print the number of times that the substring occurs in the given string. String traversal will take place from left to right, not from right to left.

NOTE: String letters are case-sensitive.

Input Format

The first line of input contains the original string. The next line contains the substring.

Constraints

Each character in the string is an ascii character.

Output Format

Output the integer number indicating the total number of occurrences of the substring in the original string.

Sample Input

ABCDCDC
CDC

Sample Output

2

Concept

Some string processing examples, such as these, might be useful.
There are a couple of new concepts:
In Python, the length of a string is found by the function len(s), where  is the string.
To traverse through the length of a string, use a for loop:

for i in range(0, len(s)):
    print (s[i])

A range function is used to loop over some length:

range (0, 5)

Here, the range loops over  to .  is excluded.

Mutations-HackerRank Solution

 Mutations-HackerRank Solution

 We have seen that lists are mutable (they can be changed), and tuples are immutable (they cannot be changed).

Let's try to understand this with an example.

You are given an immutable string, and you want to make changes to it.

Example

>>> string = "abracadabra"

You can access an index by:

>>> print string[5]
a

What if you would like to assign a value?

>>> string[5] = 'k' 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment

How would you approach this?

• One solution is to convert the string to a list and then change the value.

Example

>>> string = "abracadabra"
>>> l = list(string)
>>> l[5] = 'k'
>>> string = ''.join(l)
>>> print string
abrackdabra

• Another approach is to slice the string and join it back.

Example

>>> string = string[:5] + "k" + string[6:]
>>> print string
abrackdabra

Task
Read a given string, change the character at a given index and then print the modified string.

Input Format
The first line contains a string, .
The next line contains an integer , denoting the index location and a character  separated by a space.

Output Format
Using any of the methods explained above, replace the character at index  with character .

Sample Input

abracadabra
5 k

Sample Output

abrackdabra
