how to slice a string at a certain character python code example

Example 1: get a slice of string in python

string = "something"

slice = string[0:3] # will be "som"
slice = string[0:-3] # will be "someth"
slice = string[3:] # will be "thing"
slice = string[:3] # same as first slice
slice = string[::2] # will be "smtig" -- it goes 2 step each time

Example 2: python slice string

name = "dx4iot"
print(name[0:]) #output: dx4iot
print(name[0:3]) #output: dx4
#==== reverse a string ====#
print(name[::-1]) #output: toi4xd
print(name[0:6:2]) #output: d4o
print(name[-4:-1]) #output: 4io
