Chapter 8.2, Problem 7CP
Program Plan Intro
String slicing:
- • A span of items that are taken from a sequence denotes a slice.
- • Span of characters are obtained when a string is sliced.
- • The slices of strings are termed as substrings.
Syntax:
The syntax for string slicing is shown below:
string[start : end]
Explanation:
In the above syntax,
- • The “start” denotes index of the first character in the slice.
- • The “end” denotes the index of end of slice.
- • The expression would return a string that contains a copy of characters from “start” till “end”.
