String Composition Verification with isOOO() Methods

Functions with names in the form of isOOO() like isalnum(), isalpha(), and isdigit() are used to verify the composition of a string.

These functions check if the characters in a string satisfy certain conditions and return True or False accordingly.


The main functions include:

  • isalnum(): Checks if the string contains only alphabetic characters (A, a, B, b...) and digits (1, 0, 9...)

  • isalpha(): Checks if the string consists solely of alphabetic characters

  • isdigit(): Checks if all characters in the string are digits (0-9)


Examples using isOOO()
text = "Python3" print(text.isalnum()) # True print(text.isalpha()) # False print(text.isdigit()) # False

When are these functions used?

isOOO() functions are primarily used for validating user input or cleaning data.

Example of Input Validation
text = input("Please enter your username containing letters or numbers: ") if text.isalnum(): print("Valid input: The string contains only letters and/or numbers.") else: print("Invalid input: The string contains special characters or spaces.")
