Python: Count number of non-empty substrings of a given string

Python String: Exercise-77 with Solution

Write a Python program to count number of non-empty substrings of a given string.

Sample Solution:-

Python Code:

def number_of_substrings(str): 
	str_len = len(str); 
	return int(str_len * (str_len + 1) / 2); 

str1 = input("Input a string: ")
print("Number of substrings:") 
print(number_of_substrings(str1))

Sample Output:

Input a string:  w3resource
Number of substrings:
55

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.
