Exploring The Power of Strings

Python strings can be represented using single, double, or triple quotes. Basic string operations include concatenation, indexing, slicing, and repetition. The len() function returns a string's length while common string methods like split(), strip(), and join() allow efficient manipulation. Formatting strings uses f-strings or str.format(). Regular expressions enable powerful pattern matching in strings and are used widely for data analysis and cleaning.
