Inserting characters in strings in python

Question

I\'m doing homework and I have all except this last problem figured out. I can\'t seem to figure out how to get a character not to show up if it\'s inserted at a larger insertio

Answer 1

Just keep it simple. Check to see if the position is greater than the length of the word then just print the word, else proceed with your logic:

C = input("Choose your charecter to insert. ")
P = int(input("Choose your character's position. "))
S = input("Choose your string. ")

if P > len(S):
    print(S)
else:
    st = S[:P] + C + S[P:]

    print(st)
    print(C, P, S)
