Python - Increment Characters in a String by 1

Question

I\'ve searched on how to do this in python and I can\'t find an answer. If you have a string:

>>> value = \'abc\' 

How would you

Answer 1

You could use a generator expression with ''.join() as follows:

In [153]: value = 'abc'

In [154]: value_altered = ''.join(chr(ord(letter)+1) for letter in value)

In [155]: value_altered
Out[155]: 'bcd'

The generator iterates over each letter in the string value and increments it by one using the chr(ord(letter)+1) methodology suggested in your question. It then uses ''.join() to convert the letters in the generator back into a string.
