Summary: In this tutorial, you will learn to compare two strings case-insensitively (i.e., ignore case) in Python.
When comparing two strings, Python interprets uppercase and lowercase letters differently.
For example, “ABC” is not the same as “abc“. When ignoring the case, these strings are the same.
In Python, you can easily ignore case by using str.lower() during comparison.
Use str.lower() to Ignore Case
#strings
string_1 = "ABC"
string_2 = "abc"
#comparing two strings
comparison = string_1.lower() == string_2.lower()
#result
print(comparison)Output: True
In this program, we called str.lower() method to lowercase all the characters of strings. After this, we used them when comparing to ignore case.
