Slice the Word
Slicing allows you to extract a substring — a sequence of characters from a string. Unlike indexing (which gives one character), slicing returns a portion of the string.
string[start : end]
start
— the index where the slice begins (inclusive)
end
— the index where the slice stops (exclusive)
So the character at start is included, but the character at end is not.
123record = "Invoice INV-2024-007 paid" invoice_code = record[8:21] print(invoice_code) # Output: INV-2024-007
In this case:
'I'
is at index8
;- '
7'
is at index20
;
So we use [8:21]
to get the full invoice code

Given the string:
"asset and liability, debit and credit"
-
Use slicing to extract the word
"asset"
and assign it to the variable asset. -
Use slicing to extract the word
"debit"
and assign it to the variable debit. Make sure to use slicing only — no string methods or manual typing.

Can you explain what happens if I omit the start or end index in slicing?
What if I use negative indices in string slicing?
Can you show more examples of string slicing with different start and end values?
Awesome!
