The below is the example of an index of a string:

 +---+---+---+---+---+
 | H | e | l | p | A |
 +---+---+---+---+---+
 0   1   2   3   4   5
-5  -4  -3  -2  -1

str="Name string"

slicingSlicing example: [start:end:step]

str[start:end] # itemsItems start through end-1
str[start:]    # itemsItems start through the rest of the array
str[:end]      # itemsItems from the beginning through end-1
str[:]         # aA copy of the whole array

Below is the example usage:

print str[0]=Nstr[0] = N
print str[0:2]=Na2] = Na
print str[0:7]=Name7] = Name st
print str[0:7:2]=Nm2] = Nm t
print str[0:-1:2]=Nm2] = Nm ti
