String Slicing

String Slicing

We can access a part of a string by its position starting from 0. To do so we need to put the position number inside [sqaure brackets] after the string.

-------------------------------------------

code:-

mystr = "Hello World"

print(mystr[3])

print(mystr[6])

output:-

l

W

-------------------------------------------

***Note that positions always start from 0 and not 1.***

In the above example, the positions of the string are:-

H         - 0

e          - 1

l           - 2

l           - 3

o          - 4

            - 5

W        - 6

o          - 7

r          - 8

l          - 9

d          - 10

To get a long part out of a string you can give two positions like [5:9] which will give you a string taken from the main string's 5^th to 9^th position.

-------------------------------------------

code:-

mystr = "Hello World"

print(mystr[0:5])

output:-

Hello
