Python » String » String Slice Screenshots  Strings can be subscripted (indexed) #like in C, the first character of a string has subscript (index) 0.  #There is no separate character type; a character is simply a string of size one.  #Like in Icon, substrings can be specified with the slice notation:  #two indices separated by a colon. word = "Hello world" print word[4] print word[0:2] print word[2:4] print word[:2]    # The first two characters print word[2:]    # Everything except the first two characters print 'x' + word[1:] print 'Splat' + word[4]                     Related examples in the same category 1.
