Introduction To Python Maketrans Method With practical Examples

In This Article You Will Learn About Python maketrans Method

Python maketrans method – Before moving ahead, let’s know a little bit about Python translate() method

Introduction – It creates or returns a mapping table that can be used with translate() method to replace specified characters.

Syntax – String.maketrans(x, y, z)

Parameter Values -

x – It is required value. If one parameter is specified then it has to be dictionary to describe how to replace a specified character. If two or more parameter is specified then it has to be string that specifying the character to be replaced.

y – It is an optional value. Its parameter should be same as parameter x. Each character in parameter x will be replaced with this parameter.

z - It is an optional value. A string describes which character has to be removed from original string.        

Example 1 – Replaced a specified letter ‘H’ with ‘J’

txt = "Hello Python!"
mydict = txt.maketrans('H' , 'J')

print(txt.translate(mydict))

As it is shown clearly that it replaced first letter ‘H’ to ‘J’ and returned new string

Example 2 – Use of mapping table with third parameter to remove original characters from string. 

w = "Hello Python World!"
x = 'Heoll' 
y = 'Jeoll' 
trans= w.maketrans(x , y)
  
print("Translated string:" , w.translate(trans))

As it is shown clearly that it replaced string using third parameter and returned new string

Example 3 – Use of mapping table with third parameter to remove original characters from string. 

w = "Hello Python World!"
x = 'Hello' 
y = 'Jello' 
z = 'l' 
trans= w.maketrans(x , y , z) # translate string

print("Translated string:" , w.translate(trans))
python-maketrans-method
As it is shown clearly that it replaced string and returned new string

Example 4 – The method maketrans() itself returns a dictionary to describe each replacement, in unicode:

w = "Hello Python World!"
x = 'Hello' # 
y = 'Jello' 
z = 'l' 

print('Translated String:' , w.maketrans(x , y , z))

As it is shown clearly that maketrans() itself returned a dictionary to describe each replacement, in unicode
