Python Program to Get a Substring of a String

Using String slicing

 my_string = "I love python." # prints "love" print(my_string[2:6]) # prints "love python." print(my_string[2:]) # prints "I love python" print(my_string[:-1])

Output

 love love python. I love python

String slicing works similar to list slicing. The working of above code can be understood in the following points.

• [2:6]
  You need to specify the starting index and the ending index of the substring. In this case, love starts at index 2 and ends at index 6.
• [2:]
  All the text from index 2 to the end are selected.
• [:-1]
  All the text before the last index is selected.
