Python - .strip(), .capitalize(), .title(), .spit()

🐍 .strip() removes certain characters from both ends of the string. .capitalize() capitalizes the first letter of the string and sets the rest of the string to lower case. .title() capitalizes first letter of every word in the string.

Example

Run the following code in Jupyter notebook and you will see how each of the above functions work.

a = "   john SNOW   "
b = "0000CAEsy0james00"
print(a.strip().capitalize()+" loves "+b.strip('0').title())

.strip()

.strip() removes all spaces from the front and back of a string. Not the spaces in between. .strip() has default argument as space, i.e. ' '. But if you pass another character, it will look for that character in front and back of the string and remove it.

For example, if you run print('0000James0Cameron000'.strip('0')), it will remove all 0s from front and back and print 'James0Cameron'. Note that the 0 in between remains as it is.

You can pass a string too. Example, print('agentJamesagentCameronagent'.strip('agent')) will return 'JamesagentCameron'.

.capitalize()

It capitalizes first letter of the string. and sets the rest of the characyers to lowercase.

Example, print('jAmEs CaMeRoN'.capitalize()) returns James cameron

.title()

It capitalizes the first letter of all words separated by space.

Example, print('jAmEs CaMeRoN'.title()) returns James Cameron

.split()

It separates words in a sentence by a character. The default character it uses to separate is space.

Example, print("hello world".split()) will return ['hello', 'world']
Example, print("mississippi".split('i')) will return ['m', 'ss', 'ss', 'pp']

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.
