There is no separate string type in Python, and a string is a string of length 1. The string can be specified by the number of (slice), and the fragment is two subscripts separated by a colon:
>>>word= ' help ' + ' A '
>>>word
' Helpa '
>>>word[0:2]
Default value for fragment: The first subscript defaults to zero, and the second subscript is the length of the string when omitted.
The subscript is allowed to be negative, right-to-left numbers.
>>>WORD[-1]
A
>>>WORD[-2:0]
' PA '
>>>word[:-2]
' Hel '
An out-of-range subscript fragment is truncated, but in the case of a non-fragment, this is wrong.
>>>WORD[-100:]
' Helpa '
>>>WORD[-10] #error
Built-in function Len () returns the length of a string
