Find and Replace method | Python

Python

The replace() method is used to replace specific text or characters in a given string with new text or characters.

name = "Free Learning"

namereplace = name.replace("e","E") # replacing all e to E

print(namereplace)

Output: FrEE LEarning

namereplace = name.replace("e","E",2) # replacing first two e to E

print(namereplace)

Output: FrEE Learning

The find() method is used to locate the position (index) of a specified value within a string. If the value is not found, it returns -1.

name = "Free Learning"

namefind_e1 = name.find("e") # finding the position of first e

print(namefind_e1)

Output: 2

namefind_e2 = name.find("e",namefind_e1+1) # finding the position of second e

print(namefind_e2)

Output: 3

namefind_e1 = name.find("M") # Not Found

print(namefind_e1)

Output: -1
