String Operators:
Python provides the following operators for string operations. These operators are useful to manipulate string.
(i) Concatenation (+):
Joining of two or more strings is called as Concatenation. The plus (+) operator is used to concatenate strings in python.
Example:
>>> "welcome" + "Python"
'welcome python'
(ii) Append (+ =):
Adding more strings at the end of an existing string is known as append. The operator += is used to append a new string with an existing string.
Example:
>>> str1 = "welcome to"
>>> str1 + = "Learn Python"
>>> print (str1)
Welcome to Learn Python
(iii) Repeating (*):
The multiplication operator (*) is used to display a string in multiple number of times.
Example:
>>> str1= "welcome "
>>> print (str1 *4)
Welcome Welcome Welcome Welcome
(iv) String slicing:
Slice is a substring of a main string.
A substring can be taken from the original string by using [ ] operator and index or subscript values. Thus [ ] is also known as slicing operator. Using slice operator, we have to slice one or more substrings from a main string.
General format of slice operation:
str[start:end]
Where start is the beginning index and end is the last index value of a character in the string. Python takes the end value less than one from the actual index specified.
Example: I
Slice a single character from a string
>>>str 1 = "THIRUKKURAL"
>>>print (str 1 [0])
       T
(v) Stride when slicing string:

• When the slicing operator, we can specify a third argument as the stride, which refers to the number of characters to move forward after the first character is retrieved from the string.
• The default  value of stride is 1
• Python takes the last value as n-1
• We can also use negative value stride, to print data in reverse order.

Example :
>>>str1 = "Welcome to learn python"
>>>print(str1[::-2])
Output :
nhy re teolW
