Strings · Lesson 6 of 25

String indexing and slicing

Select characters and slices, including their boundaries.

8 minutes3 games

Indexing starts at zero; negative indices count from the end. A slice text[start:stop:step] includes start and stops before stop. Omit a boundary to extend to that end of the string.

word = "Python" =

P[0]

y[1]

t[2]

h[3]

o[4]

n[5]

Python

word = "Python"
print(word[0], word[-1])
print(word[1:4])
print(word[:2], word[2:])
print(word[::2])
print(word[::-1])

What's the output?

word = "Python"
print(word[1:4])

What will this code print?

Complete the code

Complete the reversed string.

print("code"[::])
