Overview of this book

Dancing with Python helps you learn Python and quantum computing in a practical way. It will help you explore how to work with numbers, strings, collections, iterators, and files. The book goes beyond functions and classes and teaches you to use Python and Qiskit to create gates and circuits for classical and quantum computing. Learn how quantum extends traditional techniques using the Grover Search Algorithm and the code that implements it. Dive into some advanced and widely used applications of Python and revisit strings with more sophisticated tools, such as regular expressions and basic natural language processing (NLP). The final chapters introduce you to data analysis, visualizations, and supervised and unsupervised machine learning. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in programming the latest and most powerful quantum computers, the Pythonic way.

4.2 Testing for substrings

Use not and not in to see if the content of one string is within another.

"Quantum" in "Quantum computing"
True
"QUANTUM" not in "Quantum computing"
True

To test without worrying about uppercase and lowercase, we use the casefold method on each string first.

"QUANTUM".casefold() in "Quantum computing".casefold()
True

Python provides upper and lower to change the case of strings.

"Charles Darwin".upper()
'CHARLES DARWIN'
"CAUTION: HELMETS MUST BE WORN".lower()
'caution: helmets must be worn'

Use capitalize to put the first character in uppercase and the remaining ones in lowercase. Note that this may not give you what you want if the text contains characters that should remain in uppercase.
