Strings
• String is a sequence of characters. It may contain
alphabets, numbers and special characters.
• Strings are enclosed in single and double quotes.
• Strings are immutable in nature.
Examples:
‘hello’
“college”

Subscript operator
Subscript operator [ ] is used to access elements of
sequence like strings, list and tuples.
char my_string[10];
my_string=“Hello:;
print(my_string[1])
Output: e

Indexing
Individual characters of the string can be accessed using indexing.
Example:
char name[10];
name=“vit college”
print(name[0]) output: v
print(name[4]) output: c
print(name[8]) output: e

Slicing
A segment of s string is called slice.
Slicing is used to return/select/slice the particular substring based on user
requirements.
Syntax: string_variablename [start : end]
Example:
Name=“vit college”
print(“first 5 characters are”,name[:5]) output:vit c
nd th
print(“2 to 5 character”, name[2:5]) output: it c
Print(“excluding first 5 characters”,name[5:]) output:ollege
