Basics

StryPy includes many basic functions to aid users. Many of these do have extra parameters to elaborate on simple functions.

sp.add(*args, spaces=False)

Returns a concatenated string

This function takes any number of strings and returns them concatenated.By setting the spaces parameter to true the function will return the string with spaces between each string:

>>> sp.add("Hello","World", spaces=True)
'Hello World'

sp.subtract(String, num)

Returns a string with a certain number of characters removed off the end

This function removes a certain number of letters of the end of a string:

>>> sp.subtract("Hello World", 3)
'Hello Wo'

sp.remove(String, removed, spaces=False)

Returns the string with a part removed

This function removes a string from a string, and can replace it with spaces by setting the spaces parameter to true:

>>> sp.remove("Hello World", " World")
'Hello'

sp.join(List, between=None)

Returns a string made up of the ones in a list

This function takes a list of strings and joins it into one string.By setting the between parameter to string value, it will add that string between each between each of the list’s strings:

>>> sp.join(["Hello", "World"], between=" ")    # Adds a space between each string.
'Hello World'

sp.split(String, separator=None, Maxsplit=None)

Returns list of strings derived from a string

This function takes a string and splits it into a list of parts. The default separator is a space and you can specify the maximum amount of times to split the string:

>>> sp.split("Hello World")
["Hello", "World]"

sp.splitdex(String, splitpoint)

Returns a list of two parts of a string

This function takes a string and splits it into two parts at the index desired. It returns a list of the two parts:

>>> sp.splitdex("Hello World", 4)
["Hell", "o World"]

sp.switch(String, oldstring, newstring)

Returns a string with a replaced part

This function takes a string and replaces the oldstring part with the newstring:

>>> sp.switch("Hello There", "There", "World")
'Hello World'

sp.switchchars(String, old, new)

Returns a string with a character replaced by another

This function takes a string and replaces every instance of the old character with the new character. It is case sensitive so ‘A’ is not the same as ‘a’:

>>> sp.switchchars("Hello World","l","d")
'Heddo Wordd'

sp.switchdex(String, index, char)

Returns a string with the character at an index replaced by another

This function takes a string and replaces the character at a specific index with a different character. To be userfriendly, you can count from 1, rather than 0 for the index:

>>> sp.switchdex("Gello World",1,"H")
'Hello World'

sp.chars(String)

Returns a list of characters

This function simply returns a list of each character of a string:

>>> sp.chars("Hello World")
['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd']

sp.uniques(String)

Returns a list of the unique characters in a string

This function returns a list of all the unique characters in a string. It is case sensitive so ‘A’ is not the same as ‘a’:

>>> sp.uniques("Hello World")
[' ', 'd', 'e', 'H', 'l', 'o', 'r', 'W']

sp.mesh(String1, String2)

Returns a string of two strings meshed together

This function meshes/interweaves two strings:

>>> sp.mesh("Hello", "World")
'HWeolrllod'

sp.reverse(String)

Returns a reversed string

This function simply reverses a string:

>>> sp.reverse("Hello World")
'dlroW olleH'

sp.length(String)

Returns the length of a string

This function simply returns the length of a string:

>>> sp.length("Hello World)
11

sp.count(letter, String)

Returns the number of times a character appears in a string

This function simply returns amount of times a letter appears in a string. It is case sensitive so ‘A’ is not the same as ‘a’:

>>> sp.count("l","Hello World")
3

sp.divchunks(String, chunksize)

Returns a list of strings

This function takes a string and divides it into chunks of a specified size. Any remainder will still be included:

>>> sp.divchunks("Hello World", 3)
["Hel","lo ","Wor","ld"]
