How to encode and decode a string and list in python.

Question

pls any one can explain with examples.

Answer 1

#here is a string example :

word = 'Sriram'
x = word.encode('UTF-16', 'ignore')
print (x)

#this method takes 2 parameters :
the first one being the encoding scheme to be used :
I used 'UTF-16', in the above example.

#the second parameter is the error handling scheme:
it could be :
'strict', ' ignore ' or 'replace':
I used 'ignore' in the above example.

# if you don't include the parameters,
the method will still work,
but using default character encoding and error handling schemes.

#the default for errors is 'strict'.
__________________________________
Now,
to decode and print the above string:

print (x.decode('UTF-16', 'ignore'))

#again, the explanation is similar to that of the encoding method :

#feel free to play around with the various character encoding/decoding and error handling schemes available,
and find out what works for you :
All the best!

I only used x to print out your name,
but,
you can print out any string directly,
if that's how you prefer:

also,
try to write a code, based on the example above,
and see for yourself,
what encode and decode can do:
you'll understand the concept better, that way:

and you're welcome!
