Slice the Phrase

If we are certain that we intend to extract all characters from position 5 to the end of the string, there is no need to employ the string[5 : ending_index] syntax. Python offers a diverse array of built-in functions, and it adjusts its syntax to suit your specific needs.
Let’s look at this phrase:


              1234
            
string = "Push beyond your limits"
phrase = string[5:]

print(phrase)

Alternatively, this also applies when you require the extraction of a phrase starting from the initial point up to a specified index:


              123
            
string = "Push beyond your limits"
phrase = string[:11]
print(phrase)

It's your turn! Follow this algorithm:

Extract the phrase Get a foot from the first string and assign it to the variable phrase1.
Extract the phrase away from the second string and assign it to the variable phrase2 (using negative indexation is more reasonable here).
