Chapter 8.2, Problem 8CP
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.

The program should then prompt the user for an index, and display the word at that index. Since you must store the entire list in an array, you will need to know the length. The "List of 1000 Mixed Case Words" contains 1000 words. You are guaranteed that the words in the array are unique, so you don't have to worry about the order of, say, "bat" and "Bat."
