Hi everyone, I'm a beginning programming student in Python and have a few questions regarding strings.
If s1 = "spam" If s2 = "ni!" 1. Would string.ljust(string.upper(s2),4) * 3 start it at the left margin and move it 12 spaces to the right because of the 4 *3? If so, why is it in the parathesis for the upper command and not the ljust? I already know that it would cap it to NI! 2. To get the output "Spam Ni! Spam Ni! Spam Ni!" I could do something like this string.join ([s1, s2]), But I'm a little lost how to get it repeated three times on one line. Would I just have to put the same command on the next two lines? 3. To change spam to spm, the string.replace seems to be the best function to use. However, when I use string.replace(s1, "a", " ") in python to replace a with an empty space, it doesn't work...I just get spam back when I print s1. Any ideas? Thanks. -Shawn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
