Improve Article Show Save Article Improve Article Save Article Given a string, we have to find whether the string contains any letters, numbers, underscores, and dashes or not. It is usually used for verifying username and password validity. For example, the user has a string for the username of a person and the user doesn’t want the username to have any special characters such as @, $, etc. Prerequisite: Regular Expression in Python Let’s see the different methods for solving this task: Method 1: Using Regular Expression. There is a function in the regular expression library(re) that compares two strings for us. re.match(pattern, string) is a function that returns an object, to find whether a match is find or not we have to typecast it into boolean.
Let’s see an example: Example 1: Python3
Output: True Example 2: Python3
Output: True False Method 2: Using Set. Set is a built-in data type in Python. We are usingissubset()function of a set that returns True if all characters of a set are present in a given set Otherwise False.
Let’s see an example: Example 1: Python3
Output: False Example 2: Python3
Output: True The Time and Space Complexity for all the methods are the same:
Method : Using replace() and len() methods Python3
