String Slicing in Python

Slicing allows you to extract parts of strings using a specific syntax.

Syntax:

string[start:stop:step]

start → index to start slicing (inclusive)

stop → index to stop slicing (exclusive)

step → how many steps to jump (optional)

Examples:

text = "Python Programming"

print(text[0:6]) # 'Python'

print(text[7:18]) # 'Programming'

print(text[:6]) # 'Python' (start is assumed 0)

print(text[7:]) # 'Programming' (goes till end)

print(text[::2]) # 'Pto rgamn' (every 2nd character)

print(text[::-1]) # 'gnimmargorP nohtyP' (reverse string)

Indexing:

Python uses zero-based indexing, and negative indices count from the end:

print(text[-1]) # 'g' (last character)

print(text[-3:]) # 'ing'

[Link](prefix) Checks if string starts with prefix.

[Link](suffix) Checks if string ends with suffix.

[Link](sub) Counts how many times sub occurs.

Rplacing and Splitting

MethodDescription

[Link](old, new) Replaces all occurrences of old with new.

[Link](sep) Splits string by sep into a list.

[Link](sep) Splits from the right.

[Link](list) Joins elements of a list with the string as a separator.

MethodDescription

[Link]() True if all characters are letters.

[Link]() True if all characters are digits.

[Link]() True if alphanumeric (letters or digits).

[Link]() True if all characters are whitespace.
