Python uses a simple and intuitive syntax for this purpose. The syntax follows this pattern: <code><strong>string[start:end]<\/strong><\/code>, where the start is the index of the first character you want to include, and the end is the index of the character immediately after the last one you want. It&#8217;s important to note that the character at the end of The index itself is not included in the slice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mastering_Python_Strings\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sahaldecode.com\/python-strings\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sahaldecode.com\/python-strings\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mastering Python Strings<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-contrast-color has-text-color\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples_of_String_Slicing\"><\/span><strong>Examples of String Slicing:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example_1_Basic_Python_Slicing\"><\/span><em>Example 1: Basic Python Slicing<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with a simple example.
