x = "hello!"?

Question

x = "hello!"
for i in range(0, len(x)-1:
prin(x(i))

x equals a string hello. len(x)-1 means to count from the -1 (second to last index), so why it printed the whole string is beyond me. Any ideas? As always, any help appreciated.

Answer 1

x = "hello!"
for i in range(0, len(x)-1): # "i" takes the values from 0 to 4 -> range(0, 5)
print(x[i]) # x[0], x[1], x[2], x[3], x[4]

Thanks, Jay:). Could you explain how I was to know that? For range 0 len means I should be printing the length, no?

Answer 3

Thanks, Diego! I also see that I missed the exclamation point "!" (at the end). Thus some of the confusion.
