Is there a Java equivalent to Python's Easy String Splicing?

Question

Ok, what I want to know is is there a way with Java to do what Python can do below...

string_sample = \"hello world\"

string_sample[:-1]
>>> \"hell         


        

Answer 1

I have a created a simple library for that, called JavaSlice, which gives a uniform way to access slices of String, List or arrays in Java, in a similar manner as Python.

So your examples would be simply written as this:

    String sample = "hello world";

    System.out.println(slice(sample, 0, -1)); // "hello worl"
    System.out.println(slice(sample, -1)); // 'd'
    System.out.println(slice(sample, 3)); // 'l'
