Python: Move spaces to the front of a given string

Python String: Exercise-58 with Solution

Write a Python program to move spaces to the front of a given string.

Sample Solution:-

Python Code:

def move_Spaces_front(str1):
  noSpaces_char = [ch for ch in str1 if ch!=' ']
  spaces_char = len(str1) - len(noSpaces_char)
  result = ' '*spaces_char
  result = '"'+result + ''.join(noSpaces_char)+'"'
  return(result)

print(move_Spaces_front("w3resource .  com  "))
print(move_Spaces_front("   w3resource.com  "))

Sample Output:

"     w3resource.com"
"     w3resource.com"

Python: Tips of the Day

Check if a given key already exists in a dictionary:

In is the intended way to test for the existence of a key in a dict.

d = {"key1": 10, "key2": 23}

if "key1" in d:
    print("this will execute")

if "nonexistent key" in d:
    print("this will not")

If you wanted a default, you can always use dict.get():

d = dict()

for i in range(100):
    key = i % 10
    d[key] = d.get(key, 0) + 1

and if you wanted to always ensure a default value for any key you can either use dict.setdefault() repeatedly or defaultdict from the collections module, like so:

from collections import defaultdict

d = defaultdict(int)

for i in range(100):
    d[i % 10] += 1

but in general, the in keyword is the best way to do it.
