How to Get a Substring of a Python String?
To get a substring of a Python string, you can use the string slicing syntax as follows:
# Define a string
string = "hello world"
# Get the substring "world"
substring = string[6:]
print(substring) # Output: "world"
# Get the substring "lo w"
substring = string[3:7]
print(substring) # Output: "lo w"
In the above example, string
is the original string, and substring
is the substring that we want to extract. To get a substring, we use the slicing syntax string[start:end]
, where start
is the index of the first character to include in the substring, and end
is the index of the first character to exclude from the substring. If start
is not specified, it defaults to 0 (the beginning of the string). If end
is not specified, it defaults to the end of the string.
