Question

Write a python program to get a string as input from the user and print the third character from the end. For instance, it should return o for unicorn.

Expert Solution
Step 1

We will write a python code which will prompt the user to input a string and then print the third character from the end.

Steps:

  • First, we will take input from the user using the input function in python, which will prompt the user to enter any string.
  • Then, we will use slicing to extract the third character from the end. Here we want to extract the third character from the end so we will use the [-3] index to do it and we will directly print it.

I am pasting the python code along with the output screenshots to verify the solution.
