String is immutable data type String replace So why there is command for string to replace the values

Question

We cant change the values of Immutable data type.

Answer 1

Hey, @Nelson,

replace() actually returns a *copy* of the argument string with relevant parts replaced. The original string is left intact. Strings are immutable in Python.

 t1="xyz" 

t2=t1.replace("x", "X") 

print(t1) #xyz

print(t2) #Xyz 

As you can see, the replace method doesn't change the value of the string t1 itself. It just returns a new string that can be used for other purposes.

I hope this will clear your doubt.
