What is the output of the Python expression: 'UnitedArabEmirates'[6:10]?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 'Arab'
- Step 1: Index the zero-indexed string: U(0), n(1), i(2), t(3), e(4), d(5), A(6), r(7), a(8), b(9), E(10).
- Step 2: Python slicing `[start:stop]` includes the start index and excludes the stop index. Characters at indices 6, 7, 8, 9 are 'A', 'r', 'a', 'b', giving `'Arab'`.
Answer
'Arab'.
Why not the others: `'dAra'` starts at index 5; `'ArabE'` includes index 10; `'Emir'` begins at index 10.
