Prerequisite: Regular expression in Python
Given a string, write a Python program to check whether the given string is ending with only alphanumeric character or Not.
Examples: 
 

Input: ankitrai326 Output: Accept  Input: ankirai@ Output: Discard

In this program, we are using search() method of re module. 
re.search() : This method either returns None (if the pattern doesn’t match), or re.MatchObject that contains information about the matching part of the string. This method stops after the first match, so this is best suited for testing a regular expression more than extracting data. 
Alphanumeric characters in the POSIX/C locale consist of either 36 case-insensitive symbols (A-Z and 0-9) or 62 case-sensitive characters (A-Z, a-z and 0-9).
Let’s see the Python program for this : 
 

Python3




# Python program to accept string ending
# with only alphanumeric character.
# import re module
 
# re module provides support
# for regular expressions
import re
 
# Make a regular expression to accept string
# ending with alphanumeric character
regex = '[a-zA-z0-9]$'
     
# Define a function for accepting string
# ending with alphanumeric character
def check(string):
 
     # pass the regular expression
     # and the string in search() method
    if(re.search(regex, string)):
        print("Accept")
         
    else:
        print("Discard")
     
 
# Driver Code
if __name__ == '__main__' :
     
    # Enter the string
    string = "ankirai@"
     
    # calling run function
    check(string)
 
    string = "ankitrai326"
    check(string)
 
    string = "ankit."
    check(string)
 
    string = "geeksforgeeks"
    check(string)
 
 
 
                          
 
 
 
 
Output : 
 
 
Discard Accept Discard Accept

    In the telecommunication and computer domain, control characters are non-printable characters which are a part of the character set. These do not represent any written symbol. They are used in signaling to cause certain effects other than adding symbols to text. Removing these control characters is

    Given a character, we need to find the ASCII value of that character using Python. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that employs numeric codes to denote text characters. Every character has its own ASCII value assigned from 0-127. Examples:
