所谓内置方法，就是凡是字符串都能用的方法，这个方法在创建字符串的类中，下面是总结：
首先，我们要学习一个获取帮助的内置函数 help(对象) ，对象可以是一个我们创建出来的，也可以是创建对象的那个类，类也是一个对象，被称为类对象。
当我们进入解释器的交互模式中输入以下代码时：
help(str)
其中，str就是创建字符串的类，然后我们就会得到一长串的结果：

首先，我们要注意一个问题，所以的方法都没有改变原字符串本身，都是返回了一个新对象，具体原理我会在讲到函数中说明，而一个新的对象没有把它赋值给一个变量的话，其引用数就为0，在python进行垃圾回收的时候，就会将其从内存中清除。
另外，如果你英文够好的话，其实使用 help() 函数就能够自行学习了，所以这里对帮助函数是一些要点进行说明：
1. <==> 表示相对于，意思这前后的方法效果是一样的
2. -> 表示函数的返回值，意思是这个方法处理以后，返回的值是什么类型，可以是字符串 string ，也可以是数字 int 等等。关于返回值的详细，会在讲函数的时候分析。
3.函数进行传值的时候，对传入的值的类型是有要求的，不然会有很多报错，但这里并没有明说一定要传什么类型的值，而已在英文说明中隐含，所以需要一定的英语阅读能力，英文不好就用经验来堆吧。
首先，我先来说说对于字符串来说，各运算符的含义：
1.+
代表字符串拼接，不多讲了
2.in
表示给定的字符串是否在原字符串里面，返回布尔值
3.==
判断两个字符串是否一样，值相等就行，返回布尔值
4.is
判断是否是统一对象，不仅值要相同，在内存中的地址也有一样，返回布尔值
5.!=
不等于，值和对象都不相等，返回布尔值
5.<,>,<=,>=
字符串的大小判断非常奇特，它是用每个字符逐一比较，比较的是字符对应的ascll编码，例如：
a = 'a' #以十进制的ascll为例，其为97 b = 'b' #以十进制的ascll为例，其为98 a < b
另外，其是每个字符逐一比较的，一旦某个字符比另一个大，则整个字符串都大于另一个，例如
a只有一个字符，但比较的时候，是用 a 的第一个字符 'z' 和 b的第一个字符 'a' 比较，因为'z' > 'a' 了，所以整个字符串都大。如果逐一比较时，两个字符相等的话，就比较下一个字符，如果比较到最后都相等，则说明两个字符串的值相等（==）。至于是否是同一对象就需要另外确定。
6.*
字符串的乘法将会返回一个多出重复原字符串的副本。
只能和数字相乘，字符串间相乘是不可以的。
也没有什么“乘法分配率”的说法，这样只是重复元祖而已。
7.%
取模运算符就是字符串格式化时使用的符号。
关于剩下的内置方法，我会另起一篇进行总结分析。
