Challenge: Retrieving Letters from String

Task

Swipe to start coding

You are working with strings and need to extract specific parts of a given sentence. You have a sentence stored in a variable and need to extract the first character, last character, and a specific word from it.

Create a variable called first_char to store the first character of the string.
Create a variable called last_char to store the last character of the string.
Create a variable called highlighted_word to store the word "for" extracted from the string.
