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

 

In Python, you can get a substring from a string using slicing. Slicing allows you to extract a portion of a string by specifying the start and end indices. Here's how to get a substring from a string with an example:

python

# Define a string
original_string = "Hello, World!"

# Get a substring using slicing
# Syntax: string[start_index:end_index]
# Note: The end_index is exclusive, so the substring will include characters from start_index to end_index-1.

substring = original_string[7:12]  # Get the substring "World"

# Print the substring
print(substring)

Output:

World

In the example above, we used slicing to get a substring of the original string. We specified the start index as 7 and the end index as 12, which resulted in the substring "World" being extracted from the original string "Hello, World!"

You can adjust the start and end indices to extract different substrings from your original string as needed.
