1
00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:02,619
So welcome to the very next section where we

2
00:00:02,630 --> 00:00:07,070
are now going to focus specifically on the strings,

3
00:00:07,079 --> 00:00:08,609
data type.

4
00:00:08,619 --> 00:00:11,260
I know previously we talked about strings already.

5
00:00:11,270 --> 00:00:16,790
However, we need to delve even deeper into this particular topic. And why?

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,069
Well, that's because the vast majority of time,

7
00:00:20,329 --> 00:00:24,780
the data type you will be working with are going to be strings.

8
00:00:24,909 --> 00:00:26,379
Yes, you will work with integers

9
00:00:26,549 --> 00:00:31,329
and other data types. But strings typically will be about 80 to 90%

10
00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:33,750
of the types of data you work with.

11
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:36,369
So in this section, we're going to dive a lot deeper.

12
00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:39,830
I'm going to show you how you can manipulate strings.

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,830
So say for example, you have two pieces of string,

14
00:00:43,150 --> 00:00:45,330
you want to extract certain letters from the string,

15
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:48,270
you want to extract letters from that other string, join them together,

16
00:00:48,279 --> 00:00:49,090
things like that,

17
00:00:49,299 --> 00:00:53,090
you will learn how to do such things. You're going to learn how you can convert

18
00:00:53,209 --> 00:00:56,580
entire strings to upper case or lower case,

19
00:00:56,599 --> 00:01:00,119
how you can slice them and do so many other things.

20
00:01:00,130 --> 00:01:00,409
So

21
00:01:00,610 --> 00:01:00,810
I

22
00:01:00,915 --> 00:01:03,654
I believe you're going to enjoy this section. And also

23
00:01:03,895 --> 00:01:07,864
just like with the first section by the end of this section,

24
00:01:07,875 --> 00:01:11,415
there's going to be a coding exercise as well.

25
00:01:11,584 --> 00:01:17,214
So please do attempt the coding exercise. Hopefully you will be able to

26
00:01:17,364 --> 00:01:18,654
successfully do it.

27
00:01:18,864 --> 00:01:19,974
But if you can't,

28
00:01:20,125 --> 00:01:22,315
I'm going to provide for you the solution as well.

29
00:01:22,324 --> 00:01:25,745
So you can compare your code with my code. So

30
00:01:25,904 --> 00:01:27,324
without wasting any more time,

31
00:01:27,595 --> 00:01:28,294
let's begin.
