Strings what you use to represent text. Strings are a sequence of characters, enclosed in single quotes or double quotes. >> x = "hello" >> y = 'world' >> print x, y hello world There is difference between single quotes and double quotes, they can used interchangebly. Multi-line strings can be written using three single quotes or three double quote...
y = '''multi-line strings can be written using three single quote characters as well.
Methods are special kind of functions that work on an object. For example, upper is a method available on string objects. >> x = "hello" >> print x.upper()
> istrcmp('LaTeX', 'Latex') True > istrcmp('a', 'b') False
Modules are libraries in Python. Python ships with many standard library modules. A module can be imported using the import statement. Lets look at time module for example: >> import time >> time.asctime()

Functions in Python. Defining Functions. Function definition begins with “def.” Function name and its arguments. def get_final_answer(filename): “““Documentation String””” line1. line2 Colon. return total_counter. The indentation matters... First line with less .
Defining Functions in Python. Overview: This activity focuses on an important idea in programming: user-defined functions. This concept appears in practically every programming language, and in Python, there are some particular options available (default arguments, for example) that make it easy to define functions in flexible ways.
procedural way, using object-oriented programming or applying a functional approach. In this chapter, we explain the core concepts of functional programming in Python and how we develop our applications using this technique. 3.1 Python Functions
