To get the string “ti” from the string "String slicing", we need to identify the characters in the string. The string "String slicing" has the following indices:
Index: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Chars: S t r i n g s l i c i n g
The characters 't' and 'i' are located at index 1 and index 3 respectively.
With slice(start, stop, step)
:
- The start index is inclusive.
- The stop index is exclusive.
- The step specifies the increment.
For the string "String slicing", we need to start at index 1 (for 't'), and to get 'i' which is at index 3.
Let's analyze the options:
-
s1 = slice(1, 5, 2)
: This will get characters at indices 1, 3 (and (5 being exclusive) thus the resulting characters would be't'
and'i'
, which is correct. -
s1 = slice(2, 6, 2)
: This will get characters at indices 2, 4 (and 6 being exclusive) thus resulting in'r'
(index 2) and'n'
(index 4), which is not correct. -
s1 = slice(1, 5)
: This will get characters at indices 1, 2, 3, 4, which will result in't', 'r', 'i', 'n'
which is not correct. -
s1 = slice(2,6)
: This will get indices 2, 3, 4, 5, which results in'r', 'i', 'n', 'g'
, which is not correct.
Thus, the correct option that results in the string "ti" is:
s1 = slice(1, 5, 2)
.
