Question

Consider the statements given below and then choose the correct output from the given options:

myStr = "MISSISSIPPI"
print(myStr[:4] + "#" + myStr[-5:])
    

• A. MISSI#SIPPI
• B. MISS#SIPPI
• C. MISS#IPPIS
• D. MISSI#IPPIS

Hint:

In Python, positive indices count from the start (0), while negative indices count from the end (-1). Use them effectively for slicing strings.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The slicing operations in the given code work as follows:

• myStr[:4] extracts the first 4 characters, which are "MISS".
• myStr[-5:] extracts the last 5 characters, which are "SIPPI".
• These two substrings are concatenated with a "#" in between, resulting in "MISS#SIPPI".
