Replacing
Let's consider one more possible need when we need to replace some parts of the text.
Surely, Python can handle this. There is a built-in method .replace with 2 required arguments: oldvalue (what needs to be replaced) and newvalue (and replaced by what). For example, in the string "Hello, world!" we want to replace world by friend.
Note
- String is an immutable data type in Python, accordingly, the methods we will learn will not change value of string, and will only return a copy of the string.
- You can apply
.replacesequentially (s.replace('a', 'b').replace('c', 'd')).
Task
Given string topic "Data Visualization in R". You need to replace Visualization with Manipulation, and R with Python, save the result in new_topic, and print it.
Everything was clear?
