Python has no [substring](http://net-informations.com/python/basics/substring.htm) methods like substring() or substr(). Instead, we use slice syntax to get parts of existing strings. Python slicing is a computationally fast way to methodically access parts of your data. The colons (:) in subscript notation make slice notation - which has the arguments, start, stop and step . It follows this template: string[start: end: step] Run
* start - Starting index of string, Default is 0. * end - End index of string which is not inclusive . * step - An integer number specifying the step of the slicing. Default is 1.
