Lab Assignment #11 - More Work with Strings

Due Friday, October 20, 2023

We have just some string methods, a special type of function that canr r"owned" by a string. The ones that we learned about are:

• s.replace(t, u) - replaces occurrences of t within s with u
• s.ljust(x) - left-justifies s assuming that it is x characters longs
• s.rjust(x) - right-justifies s assuming that it is x characters longs
• s.center(x) - centers s assuming that it is x characters longsa
• s.count(t) - gives the number of occurrences of the string t within the large string s
• s.startswith() - True if s starts with the string t; otherwise False
• s.endswith() - True if s ends with the string t; otherwise False

Given the s = "It is imperative that we do that which is right and never which it is wrong":

Evaluate:

1. s.replace("which", "what")
2. s.replace("is", "was", 6)
3. t = s[0:16]
4. t.ljust(24)
5. t.rjust(26)
6. t.center(28)
7. s.count("is")
8. s.startswith("It")
