Indexing and Slicing Strings

Escape sequences:

 \n # Prints on new line

Indexing:

sentence = 'this is a sentence'

# to print t
print(sentence[0])

# to print last
print(sentence[-1])

String slicing:

# to get the first word
print(sentence[0:4]) # prints 0 to 3
# prints this

Slinging the data in increment of 2 (every other char)

sentence = 'abcdefg'
print(sentence[0:7:2]) # Last colon prints increment
# prints aceg

Getting strings only from a certain point forward

# don't need abc
print(sentence[3:])
#prints defg
