# Example usage
print(are_anagrams("Listen", "Silent")) # Output: True

4. Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters

Problem: Implement a function to find the length of the longest substring without repeating
characters.

python

def length_of_longest_substring(s: str) -> int:


char_index_map = {}
start = 0

return max_length

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 9/39
# Example usage

5. Count Non-Overlapping Occurrences of a Substring

Problem: Write a function to count the number of non-overlapping occurrences of a substring in a


string.

python

def count_occurrences(s: str, sub: str) -> int:


count = 0
start = 0

while True:
start = s.find(sub, start)
if start == -1:
break
count += 1
start += len(sub) # Move past the last occurrence

return count

# Example usage
print(count_occurrences("abababab", "ab")) # Output: 4

6. String Compression

Problem: Implement a basic string compression algorithm.

python

def compress_string(s: str) -> str:


compressed = []
count = 1

for i in range(1, len(s)):


if s[i] == s[i - 1]:
count += 1
else:
compressed.append(s[i - 1] + str(count))
count = 1
compressed.append(s[-1] + str(count)) # Append the last character group

compressed_str = ''.join(compressed)
return compressed_str if len(compressed_str) < len(s) else s

# Example usage
print(compress_string("aabcccccaaa")) # Output: "a2b1c5a3"

7. Using Regular Expressions

Problem: Write a regular expression to validate an email address.

python

import re

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 10/39
def is_valid_email(email: str) -> bool:
pattern = r'^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$'
return bool(re.match(pattern, email))

# Example usage
print(is_valid_email("[email protected]")) # Output: True

8. Handle Special Characters and Encoding

python

def handle_special_characters(s: str) -> str:


return s.encode('utf-8').decode('utf-8')

😊"
# Example usage
special_string = "Spécial characters: ñ, ü, ,和
和,
😊
print(handle_special_characters(special_string))
"
# Output: "Spécial characters: ñ, ü,

9. String Immutability

Problem: Demonstrate how string immutability affects performance with frequent modifications.

python

def string_concatenation_example(words: list) -> str:


result = ''
for word in words:
result += word
return result

# Example usage
words = ["Hello", "World", "Python", "is", "awesome"]
print(string_concatenation_example(words)) # Output: "HelloWorldPythonisawesome"

In the above function `string_concatenation_example`, each concatenation operation creates a new


string, which can be inefficient for very large lists of strings. For better performance with large
datasets, consider using `str.join()`.
These examples cover fundamental and advanced string operations and concepts in Python. Adjust or
extend them based on specific requirements or constraints.

num = 1
for layer in range((n + 1) // 2):
for i in range(layer, n - layer):
matrix[layer][i] = num
num += 1
for i in range(layer + 1, n - layer):
matrix[i][n - layer - 1] = num
num += 1
for i in range(n - layer - 2, layer - 1, -1):
matrix[n - layer - 1][i] = num
num += 1
for i in range(n - layer - 2, layer, -1):
matrix[i][layer] = num
num += 1

for row in matrix:


print(' '.join(str(x) for x in row))

# Example usage

def binomial_coefficient(n, k):
from math import factorial
return factorial(n) // (factorial(k) * factorial(n - k))

width = 2 * n - 1

for i in range(n):
row = [str(binomial_coefficient(i, j)) for j in range(i + 1)]
print(' '.join(row).center(width))
