Returns a space-padded string with the original string left-justified to a total of width columns. |
lower()
Converts all uppercase letters in string to lowercase. |
lstrip()
Removes all leading whitespace in string. |
maketrans()
Returns a translation table to be used in translate function. |
max(str)
Returns the max alphabetical character from the string str. |
min(str)
Returns the min alphabetical character from the string str. |
replace(old, new [, max])
Replaces all occurrences of old in string with new or at most max occurrences if max given. |
rfind(str, beg=0,end=len(string))
Same as find(), but search backwards in string. |
rindex( str, beg=0, end=len(string))
Same as index(), but search backwards in string. |
rjust(width,[, fillchar])
Returns a space-padded string with the original string right-justified to a total of width columns. |
rstrip()
Removes all trailing whitespace of string. |
split(str="", num=string.count(str))
