Question

What is the output of this program? color = "Navy Blue" print(color[5:8]) (1 point)

Answer 1

The program defines a string `color` with the value "Navy Blue" and then prints a slice of the string using `color[5:8]`. In Python, string slicing uses the format `string[start:end]`, where `start` is inclusive and `end` is exclusive.

In the string "Navy Blue":
- The character indices are:
- 0: N
- 1: a
- 2: v
- 3: y
- 4: (space)
- 5: B
- 6: l
- 7: u
- 8: e

So, `color[5:8]` will result in:
- Index 5 (B) is included
- Index 6 (l) is included
- Index 7 (u) is included
- Index 8 (e) is excluded

Therefore, `color[5:8]` results in `"Blu"`.

The output of the program is:
```
Blu
```
