1.3.5 Strings Conclusion

Code:
def how_elgible(essay):
ans = 0
if len(essay) <= 140:
if '"' in essay:
ans = ans + 1
if ',' in essay:
ans = ans + 1
if '!' in essay:
ans = ans + 1
if '?' in essay:
ans = ans + 1
print ans
else:

        print 'Too many characters.'

1.       How many characters are in this sentence? Does it matter whether Python is storing the string as one byte per character or four bytes per character?

there are 41 characters. No it does not matter how many bytes there are per character.

2.      This question asks you about something you have not learned. In fact, the question is asking about details that go beyond what you will learn in this course. However, wondering what is going on at a lower level of abstraction – and talking about it – can be a useful strategy when learning about computing.

Describe what you think occurs in memory when the following code is executed.

In []: a = 'one string'

In []: b = 'another'

In []: c = a[:3] + ' and ' + b

In []:print(c[6:10])

It looks like it will say 'one string and another' then maybe it will print out the characters of 6 - 10.
