#小结
#本章介绍了字符串的两种很重要的使用方式
#字符串格式化: 求模操作符(%)能够用来将其它值转换为包含转换标志的字符串,比如%s. 它还能用来对值进行不同方式的格式化,
#包含左右对齐, 设定字段宽度以及精度,添加符号(正负号)或者左填充数字0等.
#字符串方法 有些很实用,比方split和join,有些则用得很少,比方istitle或capitalize.

#本章的新函数
#string.capwords(s[, sep])	使用split函数切割字符串s(以sep为分隔符),使用capitalize函数将切割得到的各单词首字母大写,而且使用join函数以sep为分隔符
#将各单词连接起来
#string.maketrans(from,to)	创建用于转换的转换表
#接下来学什么 列表, 字符串和字典是Python中最重要的3种数据类型.
