Python help channel opened

Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

How the string index work? What are the valid stirng index?
Do you understand what this question is asking?

atomic scarab Jun 23, 2025, 6:03 PM

#

No

devout fog Jun 23, 2025, 6:03 PM

#

if there's a string variable named foo, how would you print the second character in that string?

atomic scarab Jun 23, 2025, 6:04 PM

#

print(f"{foo[1]}")

devout fog Jun 23, 2025, 6:04 PM

#

you could just do print(foo[1])

atomic scarab Jun 23, 2025, 6:04 PM

Thats why I wanna run over it with someone that knows their stuff

devout fog Jun 23, 2025, 6:06 PM
