Iterate over each character in a Python string

This post will discuss how to iterate over each character in a string in Python.

1. Using for-loop

A simple solution is to use the loop construct to print characters in the string.

if __name__ == '__main__':

s = "ABC"

for c in s:

print(c)

The Pythonic solution to iterate over each character in a string along with an index is using the built-in function enumerate().

if __name__ == '__main__':

s = "ABC"

for i, c in enumerate(s):

print((i, c))

Another option to iterate over the string with indexes can be done using the range() and len().

if __name__ == '__main__':

s = "ABC"

for i in range(len(s)):

print((i, s[i]))

That’s all about iterating over each character in a string in Python.
