Remove n characters from a start of a string

Question

I want to remove the first characters from a string. Is there a function that works like this?

>>> a = \"BarackObama\"
>>> print myfunction(4,a         


        

Answer 1

The function could be:

def cutit(s,n):    
   return s[n:]

and then you call it like this:

name = "MyFullName"

print cutit(name, 2)   # prints "FullName"
