static write[*Ts: Writable](*args: *Ts, *, sep: StringSlice[StaticConstantOrigin] = StringSlice(""), end: StringSlice[StaticConstantOrigin] = StringSlice("")) -> Self

Construct a string by concatenating a sequence of Writable arguments.

This is used only when reusing the write_to method for __str__ in order to avoid an endless loop recalling the constructor:

fn write_to[W: Writer](self, mut writer: W):
    writer.write_bytes(self.as_bytes())

fn __str__(self) -> String:
    return String.write(self)

var msg = String("my message", 42, 42.2, True)

Parameters:

*Ts (Writable): The types of the arguments to format. Each type must be satisfy Writable.

Iterate backwards over the string, returning immutable references.

Returns:

A reversed iterator of references to the string elements.

`len`

__len__(self) -> Int

Get the string length of in bytes.

This function returns the number of bytes in the underlying UTF-8 representation of the string.

To get the number of Unicode codepoints in a string, use len(str.chars()).

Examples

Query the length of a string, in bytes and Unicode codepoints:

from testing import assert_equal

var s = String("ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ")

assert_equal(len(s), 21)
assert_equal(len(s.chars()), 7)
from testing import assert_equal

var s = String("ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ")

assert_equal(len(s), 21)
assert_equal(len(s.chars()), 7)

Strings containing only ASCII characters have the same byte and Unicode codepoint length:

from testing import assert_equal

var s = String("abc")

assert_equal(len(s), 3)
assert_equal(len(s.chars()), 3)
from testing import assert_equal

var s = String("abc")

assert_equal(len(s), 3)
assert_equal(len(s.chars()), 3)

Returns:

The string length in bytes.

`str`

This method ensures that you can pass a String to a method that takes a Stringable value.

Returns:

The string itself.

`repr`

__repr__(self) -> Self

Return a Mojo-compatible representation of the String instance.

Returns:

A new representation of the string.

`fspath`

Return the file system path representation (just the string itself).

Returns:

The file system path representation as a string.

`write_to`

Args:

writer (W): The object to write to.

`join`

join[*Ts: Writable](self, *elems: *Ts) -> Self

Joins string elements using the current string as a delimiter.

Parameters:

*Ts (Writable): The types of the elements.

Args:

*elems (*Ts): The input values.

Returns:

The joined string.

join[T: WritableCollectionElement, //, buffer_size: Int = 4096](self, elems: List[T, hint_trivial_type]) -> Self

Joins string elements using the current string as a delimiter. Defaults to writing to the stack if total bytes of elems is less than buffer_size, otherwise will allocate once to the heap and write directly into that. The buffer_size defaults to 4096 bytes to match the default page size on arm64 and x86-64, but you can increase this if you're joining a very large List of elements to write into the stack instead of the heap.

Parameters:

T (WritableCollectionElement): The types of the elements.
buffer_size (Int): The max size of the stack buffer.

Args:

elems (List[T, hint_trivial_type]): The input values.

Returns:

The joined string.

`chars`

chars(self) -> CharsIter[self]

Returns an iterator over the Chars encoded in this string slice.

Examples

Print the characters in a string:

from testing import assert_equal

var s = String("abc")
var iter = s.chars()
assert_equal(iter.__next__(), Char.ord("a"))
assert_equal(iter.__next__(), Char.ord("b"))
assert_equal(iter.__next__(), Char.ord("c"))
assert_equal(iter.__has_next__(), False)
from testing import assert_equal

var s = String("abc")
var iter = s.chars()
assert_equal(iter.__next__(), Char.ord("a"))
assert_equal(iter.__next__(), Char.ord("b"))
assert_equal(iter.__next__(), Char.ord("c"))
assert_equal(iter.__has_next__(), False)

chars() iterates over Unicode codepoints, and supports multibyte codepoints:

from testing import assert_equal

# A visual character composed of a combining sequence of 2 codepoints.
var s = String("á")
assert_equal(s.byte_length(), 3)

var iter = s.chars()
assert_equal(iter.__next__(), Char.ord("a"))
 # U+0301 Combining Acute Accent
assert_equal(iter.__next__().to_u32(), 0x0301)
assert_equal(iter.__has_next__(), False)
from testing import assert_equal

# A visual character composed of a combining sequence of 2 codepoints.
var s = String("á")
assert_equal(s.byte_length(), 3)

var iter = s.chars()
assert_equal(iter.__next__(), Char.ord("a"))
 # U+0301 Combining Acute Accent
assert_equal(iter.__next__().to_u32(), 0x0301)

Returns:

An iterator type that returns successive Char values stored in this string slice.

`char_slices`

var s = String("abc")
var iter = s.char_slices()
assert_true(iter.__next__() == "a")
assert_true(iter.__next__() == "b")
assert_true(iter.__next__() == "c")
assert_equal(iter.__has_next__(), False)
from testing import assert_equal, assert_true

var s = String("abc")
var iter = s.char_slices()
assert_true(iter.__next__() == "a")
assert_true(iter.__next__() == "b")
assert_true(iter.__next__() == "c")
assert_equal(iter.__has_next__(), False)

An iterator of references to the string elements.

Args:

width (Int): The width of the field containing the string.
fillchar (StringLiteral): Specifies the padding character.

Returns:

Returns right justified string, or self if width is not bigger than self length.

`ljust`

ljust(self, width: Int, fillchar: StringLiteral = " ") -> Self

Returns the string left justified in a string of specified width.

Args:

width (Int): The width of the field containing the string.
fillchar (StringLiteral): Specifies the padding character.

Returns:

Returns left justified string, or self if width is not bigger than self length.

`center`

center(self, width: Int, fillchar: StringLiteral = " ") -> Self

Returns the string center justified in a string of specified width.

Args:

width (Int): The width of the field containing the string.
fillchar (StringLiteral): Specifies the padding character.

Returns:

Returns center justified string, or self if width is not bigger than self length.

`reserve`

reserve(mut self, new_capacity: Int)
