str class
 Strings are objects of the str class. We can create a string using
the constructor of str class.
The syntax of str() is:
 str(object, encoding='utf-8', errors='strict')
 object - The object whose string representation is to be
returned. If not provided, returns the empty string
 encoding - Encoding of the given object. Defaults of UTF-8
when not provided.
 errors - Response when decoding fails. Defaults to 'strict'.

branches = 'cse, cst, csbs, ece'

text = 'Binary Search'
print(text.rjust(20),"is a classic recursive algorithm")

BASIC INBUILT PYTHON FUNCTIONS FOR
STRING
 len(a) #Return length i.e. number of characters in string a
 min(a) #Return smallest character present in a string
 max(a) #Return largest character present in a string

Index[ ] operator
 The indexing operator (Python uses square brackets to
enclose the index) selects a single character from a string,
characters are accessed by their position or index value.

index[] OPERATOR
a="Welcome to CSE4A students"
b=['Mango','per kg','value','is',204.14]
c=('Apple','per kg','value','is',103.24)
d=a[2]
print(d)
lastchar=a[-1]
print(lastchar)
print(b[2])
print(b[3-6])
print(b[-2])
print(c[0])
print(c[-1])
print(c[2-4])
print(b[7-8])

traversing string: for,while,
branch="Computer Science"
for char in branch:
print(char,end="")
string="Python Programming CSE4A"
j = 0
while j < len(string):
j += 1
print(string[0:j])

immutable strings
 Character sequences fall into two categories, i.e.
mutable and immutable.
 Mutable means changeable and immutable means
unchangeable.
 Strings are immutable sequences of characters.
