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 slice.
• • The “end” denotes index of the end of slice.
• • The expression would return a string that contains a copy of characters from “start” till “end”.
• • If the “end” value is not provided, then it will consider till the end of string.
