How do I iterate through the alphabet?

You can use string.ascii_lowercase which is simply a convenience string of lowercase letters, Python 2 Example: from string import ascii_lowercase for c in ascii_lowercase: # append to your url Python 3 Example: #!/usr/bin/env python3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from string import ascii_lowercase as alc for i in alc: print(f”www.website.com/term/{i}”) # Result # www.website.com/term/a # … Read more

Is there a fast way to generate a dict of the alphabet in Python?

May 5, 2023 by Tarik

I find this solution more elegant: import string d = dict.fromkeys(string.ascii_lowercase, 0) print(d) # {‘a’: 0, ‘b’: 0, ‘c’: 0, ‘d’: 0, ‘e’: 0, ‘f’: 0, ‘g’: 0, ‘h’: 0, ‘i’: 0, ‘j’: 0, ‘k’: 0, ‘l’: 0, ‘m’: 0, ‘n’: 0, ‘o’: 0, ‘p’: 0, ‘q’: 0, ‘r’: 0, ‘s’: 0, ‘t’: 0, ‘u’: … Read more

Get character position in alphabet

February 21, 2023 by Tarik

It is called index. For e.g. >>> import string >>> string.lowercase.index(‘b’) 1 >>> Note: in Python 3, string.lowercase has been renamed to string.ascii_lowercase.

Most efficient way to get next letter in the alphabet using PHP

February 11, 2023 by Tarik

The most efficient way of doing this in my opinion is to just increment the string variable. $str=”a”; echo ++$str; // prints ‘b’ $str=”z”; echo ++$str; // prints ‘aa’ As seen incrementing ‘z’ give ‘aa’ if you don’t want this but instead want to reset to get an ‘a’ you can simply check the length … Read more

Better way to generate array of all letters in the alphabet

January 28, 2023 by Tarik

I think that this ends up a little cleaner, you don’t have to deal with the subtraction and indexing: char[] alphabet = “abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz”.toCharArray();

Quickest way to enumerate the alphabet

(Assumes ASCII, etc) for (char c=”A”; c <= ‘Z’; c++) { //do something with letter } Alternatively, you could split it out to a provider and use an iterator (if you’re planning on supporting internationalisation): public class EnglishAlphabetProvider : IAlphabetProvider { public IEnumerable<char> GetAlphabet() { for (char c=”A”; c <= ‘Z’; c++) { yield return … Read more

Generating an array of letters in the alphabet

I don’t think there is a built in way, but I think the easiest would be char[] alpha = “ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”.ToCharArray();

Convert integer into its character equivalent, where 0 => a, 1 => b, etc

Assuming you want lower case letters: var chr = String.fromCharCode(97 + n); // where n is 0, 1, 2 … 97 is the ASCII code for lower case ‘a’. If you want uppercase letters, replace 97 with 65 (uppercase ‘A’). Note that if n > 25, you will get out of the range of letters.
