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
Pythonistas prefer the use of name and not variable.
s=""
Now if we write following statement
print(s[0]) # it gives error
print(s[0:]) # it does not give error
print (s[13:13]) # this too does not give erro
why?
This was the design decision made by Guido van Rossum many, many years ago.
Other people have already given you other answers on the other thread
that you started with the same question but a different subject, please
don't do that, thanks.
Regards,
Nitin
