How do I get a substring of a string in Python?

Question

Is there a way to substring a string in Python, to get a new string from the third character to the end of the string?

Maybe like myString[2:end]?

Answer 1

a="Helloo"
print(a[:-1])

In the above code, [:-1] declares to print from the starting till the maximum limit-1.

OUTPUT :

>>> Hello

Note: Here a [:-1] is also the same as a [0:-1] and a [0:len(a)-1]

a="I Am Siva"
print(a[2:])

OUTPUT:

>>> Am Siva

In the above code a [2:] declares to print a from index 2 till the last element.

Remember that if you set the maximum limit to print a string, as (x) then it will print the string till (x-1) and also remember that the index of a list or string will always start from 0.
