Accessing String Elements

Now we know how we can create a string: both single and multiline. Now we need to learn how can we access certain elements in the string.

Elements in a string can be accessed by using indices. The very first index is 0, not 1. Therefore, if a string has 10 elements, the very last index will be 9.

Task

Given variable course with the string String Manipulation in Python. Your tasks are:

  1. Extract the element with index 7.
  2. Extract the 12th element.

Task

Given variable course with the string String Manipulation in Python. Your tasks are:

  1. Extract the element with index 7.
  2. Extract the 12th element.
