Looping through string

[np complete]

Hi, I'm new to python so I'm asking a noob question.
I'm given a large string from which I have to take all the digits and check if its prime or not. Then I have to take the first 25 chars of the string and append the prime digits to it. How am I supposed to do it ?

[Gribouillis]

Can you give a generic example of such a string and the expected result ?

Some help ...
prime numbers are only divisible by unity and themselves
integers less than 2 and even numbers other than 2 are not prime

s = "hi!"
for i in s:
    #do something
    pass #put pass if no code

My code in C :

# include <stdio.h>
# include <math.h>

int prime_check ( int i )
{
    int j = 0;

    for(j=2; j <= sqrt(i); j++ )
        if(!(i%j)) break;


    if (j>sqrt(i))
        return 1 ;
    else
        return 0 ;
}

int main (void)
{
    int n, i, j = 0, prime = 0, composite = 0;
    char arr[50], num[20] ;
    char str[] = {That HUGE LONG string} ;

    for ( i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++ )
    {
        if ( isdigit(str[i]) )
        {
            n = str[i] - '0' ;
            if ( n != 1 && n != 0)
            {

                if ( prime_check (n) == 1 )
                    prime += n ;
                else
                    composite += n ;
            }
        }

        else
        if ( (i < 25) && (isdigit (str[i]) == 0) )
            arr[j++] = str[i] + 1 ;
    }

    itoa ( prime*composite, num, 10 ) ;

    strcat ( arr, num ) ;

    printf ("%s", arr ) ;

    return 0;
}

I'm new in python, so I'm not being able to write an equivalent code for this.

I was trying to do thatarr[j++] = str[i] + 1 ; part. My python code was arr+str(int(i)+1)). It says invalid literal for int() base 10. What should I do ? My objective is to take the each char from string ( upto first 25 chars ) and give them unit positive shift.

        return False
    # loop looks at odd numbers 3, 5, 7, ... to sqrt(n)

Instead of a byte string, we use an array of small integers from module array (in python 3, we'd use the byte type, which is a read-only array of small integers). For prime_check(), we use Vegaseat's code

I have error in this line ans += str(i + 1). It says Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly. I declared i = "", before this.

[Gribouillis]

Why did you declare i = "" ? Python cannot add a str to an int.
