With string indices, is there a way to slice to end of string without using len()? Negative indices start from the end, but [-1] omits the final character.
word = "Help" word[1:-1] # But I want to grab up to end of string! word[1:len(word)] # Works but is there anything better?
Strings in python support indexing and slicing. To extract a single character from a string, follow the string with the index of the desired character surrounded by square brackets ([ ]), remembering that the first character of a string has index zero.
The slicing starts with the start_pos index (included) and ends at end_pos index (excluded). The step parameter is used to specify the steps to take from start to end index. Python String slicing always follows this rule: s[:i] + s[i:] == s for any index 'i'.
Python string supports slicing to create substring. Note that Python string is immutable, slicing creates a new substring from the source string and original string remains unchanged.
Slicing Strings You can return a range of characters by using the slice syntax. Specify the start index and the end index, separated by a colon, to return a part of the string.
You can instead try using:
word[1:]
