How to use string replace in python 3 x

Question

The string.replace() is deprecated on python 3.x. What is the new way of doing this?

Answer 1

String.replace can be used in the following ways:

For Example:

val = 'This is a Cat'
print(val.replace('Cat','Dog'))

Output

This is a Dog

val = 'This is a Cat and this is a Dog and this is a Rat'
print(val.replace('this','here',3 ))

Output

This is a Cat and here is a Dog and here is a Rat

In the second case along with replace(old, new, step) is also mentioned. This indicates how many times I want the particular string to be replaced.
Also, Python is case sensitive, hence the initial This is not changed to here.
Hope this helps.
