Slicing Strings
┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
| m | y | b | a | c | o | n |
└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘
0   1   2   3   4   5   6  
-7  -6   -5  -4  -3  -2  -1

>>> s = 'mybacon'
>>> s[2:5]
'bac'
>>> s[0:2]
'my'

```python
>>> s = 'mybacon'
>>> s[:2]
'my'
>>> s[2:]
'bacon'
>>> s[:2] + s[2:]
'mybacon'
>>> s[:]
'mybacon'

python
>>> s = 'mybacon'
>>> s[-5:-1]
'baco'
>>> s[2:6]
'baco'`

Top Python tricks for efficient programming

Strings

Trick 6: Reversing the string

a=”python”
print(“Reverse is”, a[::-1])

Output:
Reverse is nohtyp

Trick 7: Splitting the string

a="Python is the language of the future"
b=a.split()
print(b)

Output:
[‘Python’, ‘is’, ‘the’, ‘language’, ‘of’, 'the’, ‘future’]

Trick 8: Printing out multiple values of strings

print(“on”*3+’ ‘+”off”*2)

Output:
ononon offoff

Trick 9: Creating a single string

a = [“I”, “am”, “not”, “available”]
print(“ “.join(a))

Output:
I am not available

Trick 10: Checking if two words are anagrams

from collections import Counter
def is_anagram(str1, str2):
return Counter(str1) == Counter(str2)
print(is_anagram(‘taste’, ‘state))
print(is_anagram(‘beach’, ‘peach’))

Output:
True
False
