• isidentifier() Returns True if the string is an
identifier

 String Conversion
• upper()Converts a string into upper case
string.upper()
• lower() Converts a string into lower case
string.lower()
txt = "hello, and welcome to my world.“
x = txt.capitalize()
• capitalize()
print (x) Converts the
txt = "Hello, And firstTocharacter
Welcome My World!" to
upper case
x = txt.casefold()
print(x)

• casefold()Converts string into lower case

x= hello, and welcome to my world!
 String Conversion
• swapcase()Swaps cases, lower case becomes
upper case and vice versa
txt = "Hello My Name Is PETER"
x = txt.swapcase()
print(x) hELLO mY nAME iS peter

• title() Converts the first character of each

word to upper case
