Python Program to Get a Substring of a String

In this example, you will learn to get a substring of a string.

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following Python programming topics:

Python Strings

Using String slicing

my_string = "I love python."

# prints "love"
print(my_string[2:6])

# prints "love python."
print(my_string[2:])

# prints "I love python"
print(my_string[:-1])

Output

love
love python.
I love python

String slicing works similar to list slicing. The working of above code can be understood in the following points.

[2:6]
You need to specify the starting index and the ending index of the substring. In this case, love starts at index 2 and ends at index 6.
[2:]
All the text from index 2 to the end are selected.
[:-1]
All the text before the last index is selected.
