## String Replace Method
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `str.replace(old, new, max)` method is used to replace the substring `old` with the string `new` for a total of `max` times. This method returns a new copy of the string with the replacement. The original string `str` is unchanged.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Replace all occurrences of `"is"` with `"WAS"`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
string = "This is nice. This is good."
|
||
|
|
newString = string.replace("is","WAS")
|
||
|
|
print(newString)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Output
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
ThWAS WAS nice. ThWAS WAS good.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Replace the first 2 occurrences of `"is"` with `"WAS"`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
string = "This is nice. This is good."
|
||
|
|
newString = string.replace("is","WAS", 2)
|
||
|
|
print(newString)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Output
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
ThWAS WAS nice. This is good.
|
||
|
|
```
