[lawrencedoliveiro]

3:09 Just a note that removeprefix and removesuffix are only available in 3.9 or later.

[alyssonmachado]

Great video! I loved the tips, they are very useful!

[tomblankenship]

thank you very much, i just wonder in the minute 2:08 the strip method why doesnt remove the m in the example word, thanks in advance, great great gift your teachings thank you!

[dhineshbabu]

This is really cool bro. Please make more such useful summaries. Thank you

[HeyImAK]

Great run-through. Will definitely watch again before starting a string-heavy project.

[Stelaninja]

Thought I knew the most string methods. But I was wrong! Great video!

[vlogofjagathies]

Thanks you so much...
I am a 1st year college student before to go to the collage I am started to learning computer languages and successful learned c, cpp and entered to learn python and studying but python is not easy to learn comparing to c, cpp. And get exactly stuked at this topic and now I am clear about this so thank you so much... 😄😄😄

[name_ne]

Thank you, some of the methods were unknown to me

[lawrencedoliveiro]

4:14 That only works because “s” has no special meaning after “\”. To be safe in general, you should double the backslash, or use a raw string literal.

Awesome! Thank you for the great content!

[justinlee]

It is very useful as my quick reference of string methods, thanks.

[cancan]

very goog video, i learned a lot, thanks

1:56 waitt why it didn't remove the m from example, making it exaple?

[StarFury]

Been learning Python for 2 months, watched many great videos, but this is probably the most efficient 10 minutes! Keep up the great work.
I know all this is in official documentation, but it's so much better learning with a narrator and examples. I just wish I found this video earlier as it would save me hours of stackoverflow parsing.

[kris_maussen]

Is there in python something like stringbuffer /stringbuilder?
Correct me if I'm wrong but in Python strings are unmuttable ... not?

[justaduckcallednerimo]

why did the lstrip remove all the way to r (Arthur: three)?

[gorand]

3. zadatak
n=int(input('upisi prirodan broj'))
r={}
for i in range (n):
x=input()
r.update({len(x):int(x)})
k=list(r.keys())
k.sort()
g={}
for i in k:
g.update({i:r[i]})
print(i, g[i])

[higheloguy]

how about changing replace method, so you can pass list of strings as 1st argument

[saintelohim]

1:57 why the m in example is still there?
