# faststring
`faststring` is a high-performance Python library designed to enhance string manipulation operations. It provides a `MString` class that offers efficient string concatenation, modification, slicing, and other common string operations, with the added benefit of mutable strings.
## Features
- **Mutable Strings**: Unlike native Python strings, which are immutable, `MString` allows you to modify strings in place.
- **Efficient Concatenation**: Append strings without the overhead of creating new string objects.
- **Index Modification**: Modify characters at specific indices with ease.
- **Slicing**: Extract and modify slices of strings efficiently.
- **Contains Check**: Quickly check if a substring is present.
- **Find Substrings**: Locate substrings within the string.
- **Clear Strings**: Reset the string content efficiently.
- **Multiplication**: Multiply the string by an integer using the `*` operator.
## Installation
You can install FastString using `pip`:
```sh
pip install faststring
```
## Usage
Here's a quick example to get you started:
```python
from faststring import MString
# Create a new MString object
s = MString("Hello, ")
# Append a string
s += "world!"
# Or use the append method
s.append(" How are you?")
# Modify a character at a specific index
s[7] = "W"
# Modify a slice of the string
s[0:2] = "Hi"
s[0:5] = "Hi"
s[0:2] = "Hello"
# Extract a slice of the string
print(s[0:6]) # Output: Hello,
# Check if a substring is present
print("World" in s) # Output: True
# Find the index of a substring
print(s.find("World")) # Output: 7
# Clear the string
s.clear()
# Output the final string
print(s) # Output: ""
# You can also use the MString object as a regular string
print(len(s)) # Output: 0
# You can also convert the MString object to a regular string
s = s.to_string()
ms = MString("Hello")
# Multiply the string by an integer
ms *= 3
print(ms) # Output: HelloHelloHello
# Reverse the string
ms.reverse()
print(ms) # Output: olleHolleHolleH
# Replace a substring with another string
ms.replace("olleH", "Hi")
print(ms) # Output: HiHiHi
```
## Mutable Strings
One of the key features of `faststring` is the ability to modify strings in place. This can be particularly useful when dealing with large strings or when you need to perform multiple string manipulation operations in sequence.
