Exercises
Questions 1-11, assume you have the following following representation of the string schoolName = "Washington Lee H.S."

What is:
schoolName[0]
schoolName[6]
schoolName[3]=”X”
schoolName[3:8]
schoolName[:10]
schoolName[15:]
schoolName[19]
len(schoolName)
len(“”)
- What range specifies “Lee”?
- What expression returns the last character of string ‘sample’?
- Create a string "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." in a variable s
- Print out the first letter in s using the brackets (e.g. s[NUM])
- Print out the letter "q" using s and the index 4
- Print out the letter "x" using s and the corresponding index
- Using string slicing, print out the word "brown"
- Using string slicing, print out the word "lazy"
- Using string slicing, print out starting at the word "jumped" through the end of the string
- Use the string variable s from Question 1. Create a loop that prints out every letter in the variable s
- Use the string variable s from Question 1. Create a loop that prints out every letter in s backwards starting from the end.
- Use the string variable s from Question 1. Create a loop that prints out every other letter in s starting from the beginning
