string.octdigits in Python

In Python3, string.octdigits is a pre-initialized string used as string constant. In Python, string.octdigits will give the octal decimal letters ‘01234567’.

Syntax : string.octdigits Parameters : Doesn’t take any parameter, since it’s not a function. Returns : Return all octaldecimal digit letters.

Note : Make sure to import string library function inorder to use string.octdigits Code #1 :

Python3

# import string library function
import string

# Storing the value in variable result
result = string.octdigits

# Printing the value
print(result)

Output :

01234567

Code #2 : Given code checks if the string input has only octal decimal digit letters 

Python3

# importing string library function
import string

# Function checks if input string
# has only octdigits or not
def check(value):
    for letter in value:

        # If anything other than octdigit
        # letter is present, then return
        # False, else return True
        if letter not in string.octdigits:
            return False
    return True

# Driver Code
input1 = "01234567"
print(input1, "--> ",  check(input1))

input2 = "abcdefABCDEF"
print(input2, "--> ", check(input2))

input3 = "abcdefghGEEK"
print(input3, "--> ", check(input3))

input4 = "0123"
print(input3, "--> ", check(input4))

input5 = "567"
print(input3, "--> ", check(input5))

Output:

01234567 -->  True
abcdefABCDEF -->  False
abcdefghGEEK -->  False
abcdefghGEEK -->  True
abcdefghGEEK -->  True

Applications : The string constant octdigits can be used in many practical applications. Let’s see a code explaining how to use digits to generate strong random passwords of a given size. 

Python3

# Importing random to generate
# random string sequence
import random

# Importing string library function
import string

def rand_pass(size):

    # Takes random choices from
    # string.octdigits
    generate_pass = ''.join([random.choice(string.octdigits)
                        for n in range(size)])

    return generate_pass

# Driver Code
password = rand_pass(10)
print(password)

Output:
