# Python - Slicing Strings
    # You can return a range of characters by using the slice syntax.
    # Specify the start index and the end index, separated by a colon, to return a part of the string.
b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[2:5])

print('----------------------------------------------------------------')
# Slice From the Start
    # Get the characters from the start to position 5 (not included).
b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[:5])

print('----------------------------------------------------------------')
# Slice To the End
    # Get the characters from position 2, and all the way to the end.
b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[2:])

print('----------------------------------------------------------------')
# Negative Indexing
    # Use negative indexes to start the slice from the end of the string.
b = "Hello, World!"
print(b[-5:-2])
