1. # Python capitalize() function example  
2. # Variable declaration  
3. str = "javatpoint"  
4. # Calling function  
5. str2 = str.capitalize()  
6. # Displaying result

Python String Casefold() Method

Python Casefold() method returns a lowercase copy of the string. It is more simillar to lowercase
method except it revomes all case distinctions present in the string.

For example in German, 'β' is equivelent to "ss". Since it is already in lowercase, lowercase do
nothing and prints 'β' whereas casefold converts it to "ss".

Signature
1. casefold()  
Parameters
No parameter is required.

Return Type
It returns lowercase string.

Python Version
This function was introduced in Python 3.3.

Python String Casefold() Method Example 1

1. # Python casefold() function example  
2. # Variable declaration  
3. str = "JAVATPOINT"  
4. # Calling function  
5. str2 = str.casefold()  
6. # Displaying result  
7. print("Old value:", str)  
8. print("New value:", str2)  

Python String Center() Method

Python center() method alligns string to the center by filling paddings left and right of the string.
This method takes two parameters, first is a width and second is a fillchar which is optional. The
fillchar is a character which is used to fill left and right padding of the string.

Signature
1. center(width[,fillchar])  

Parameters
 width (required)
 fillchar (optional)

Return Type
It returns modified string.
Python String Center() Method Example 1:default fill char
Here, we did not pass second parameter. By default it takes spaces.

1. # Python center() function example  
2. # Variable declaration  
3. str = "Hello Javatpoint"  
4. # Calling function  
5. str2 = str.center(20)  
6. # Displaying result  
7. print("Old value:", str)  
8. print("New value:", str2)  

Python String rsplit() Method

Python rsplit() method seperates the string and returns a list. It splits from the right using
seperator as a delimiter. If seperator is not specified, any whitespace string is a separator. This
method does same as split() except splitting from the right which is described in detail below.

Note: if separator is not given, whitespace is treated as separator.

Signature
1. rsplit(sep=None,maxsplit=-1)  

Parameters
sep: A string parameter acts as a seperator.

maxsplit: number of times split perfomed.

Return
It returns a comma separated list.

Let's see some examples of rsplit() method to understand it's functionality.

5. str2 = str.rsplit()  
6. # Displaying result  
7. print(str2)  

Python String rsplit() Method Example 2

Let's pass a parameter separator to the method, see the example.

2. # Variable declaration  
3. str = "Java is a programming language"  
4. # Calling function  
5. str2 = str.rsplit('Java')  
6. # Displaying result  
7. print(str2)  

Python String rsplit() Method Example 3

The string is splited each time when a is occurred. See the example below.

1. # Python rsplit() method example  
2. # Variable declaration  
3. str = "Java is a programming language"  
4. # Calling function  
5. str2 = str.rsplit('a')  
6. # Displaying result  
7. print(str2)  

Python String isdecimal() Method

Python isdecimal() method checks whether all the characters in the string are decimal or not.
Decimal characters are those have base 10.

This method returns boolean either true or false.
