Dear Sir/Madam,
I am new to python I have a question. It is as follows:
Suppose *s* is a variable and *s* stores empty string
s=""
Now if we write following statement
print(s[0]) # it gives error
print(s[0:]) # it does not give error
why?
See http://docs.python.org/tutorial/introduction.html and in particular
section 3.1.2 on Strings where you'll find
"Degenerate slice indices are handled gracefully: an index that is too
large is replaced by the string size, an upper bound smaller than the
lower bound returns an empty string."
HTH,
Emile
