In Python, what is the output of the string slicing expression `'GetMyMockTest'[3:7]`?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. `'MyMo'`
- Step 1: In Python string slicing `s[start:stop]`, the element at index `stop` is excluded.
- Step 2: String: G(0), e(1), t(2), M(3), y(4), M(5), o(6), c(7). Slicing `[3:7]` extracts characters at indices 3, 4, 5, 6, which forms `'MyMo'`.
Answer
`'MyMo'`.
Why not the others: '`tMyM'`' begins at index 2; '`MyMock'`' includes indices 7 and 8; '`GetM'`' slices from index 0 to 4.
