Python String removeprefix() Method

Introduction:

In this tutorial, we will learn about the removeprefix() method in Python String. The removeprefix() function removes the prefix and returns the remaining string. If the default string is not found, the original string is returned. It was introduced in Python version 3.9.0.

Syntax:

The syntax of the removeprefix() method in Python String is given below -

Parameters:

The parameter of the removeprefix() method in Python String is given below -

Prefix: The prefix string we are checking.

Returns value:

It returns a copy of the string with the prefix message removed (if present); otherwise, it returns the original string.

Program Code 1:

Here we give the program code of the removeprefix() method in Python String. The code is given below -

str = 'Hello everyone, welcome to javatpoint'.removeprefix("Hello everyone,")
print(str)

Output:

Now, we run the above code and find the output from it. The output is given below -

welcome to javatpoint

Program Code 2:

Here we give another program code of the removeprefix() method in Python String. We can use Python String's removeprefix() method to remove the prefix from the string. If the prefix is not a prefix in the given string, then the original string will be returned as it is. The code is given below -

# Here, we initialize the value of the string
str = 'welcome to javatpoint'
 
# Here, the prefix exists in the given string
print(str.removeprefix('to'))
print(str.removeprefix('javatpoint'))
 
 
# Here, we print the whole given string
print(str.removeprefix('welcome to javatpoint'))
 
# Here, the prefix does not exist in the given string
print(str.removeprefix('hi'))
print(str.removeprefix('wel'))
print(str.removeprefix('for'))

Output:

Now, we run the above code and find the output from it. The output is given below -

welcome to javatpoint
welcome to javatpoint

welcome to javatpoint
come to javatpoint
welcome to javatpoint

Program Code 3:

Here we give another program code of the removeprefix() method in Python String. Python String removeprefix() method removes the prefix from the string if present, otherwise returns the original string. The code is given below -

# Here we initialize the value of string 1
str1 = "Hello everyone, welcome to javatpoint"
print("The given string 1 is: ", str1) 
   
# Here, the prefix exists in the given string 
res = str1.removeprefix("everyone") 
print("The new string is: ", res) 
   
# Here, we initialize the value of string 2
str2 = "Welcome Here"
print("The given string 2 is: ", str2) 
   
# Here, the prefix does not exist in the given string
res = str2.removeprefix("Here") 
print("The new string is: ", res)

Output:

Now, we run the above code and find the output from it. The output is given below -

The given string 1 is:  Hello everyone, welcome to javatpoint
The new string is:  Hello everyone, welcome to javatpoint
The given string 2 is:  Welcome Here
The new string is:  Welcome Here

Conclusion:

In this tutorial we are learning about the removeprefix() method in Python String. Here, we learn the syntax, parameter, and return value of the removeprefix() method. Also share some program code of this method.
