Examples¶

A few examples are given below

import wilfried.utilities.strings as st

data = [1, 2, 3, 5.5]
print(data)

# Transform data into list of strings
data_str = st.toStr(data)
print(data_str)

# Compute the length of each string in the list
data_len = st.computeStringsLen(data_str)
print(data_len)

# Compute the length of the longest string in the list
maxLen   = st.maxStringsLen(data_str)
print(maxLen)

# Combine strings from the list into a single string
string   = st.putStringsTogether(data_str)
print(string)
