The tutor shows an example program centered around string indexing.<\/h1>\n

In my July 31<\/a> post, I opened the topic of string indexing in Python. A string, moving forward, starts at position [0]; however, from the end, it starts at [-1].<\/p>\n

The question could be asked, for a given string, the place where, read from the front, it coincides with the read from the back:<\/p>\n


\nnewstring=”Vancouver”
\nfor i in range(len(newstring)):
\n   if newstring[i]==newstring[-(i+1)]:
\n      print(“Coincidence index: ” +str(i))
\n      print(“Coincidence character: “+newstring[i])
\n<\/span>
\nproduces the output
\n
\nCoincidence index: 4
\nCoincidence character: o
\n<\/span>
\nString indexing can be very useful in certain applications:)<\/p>\n
