Output question

Question

What's the output?
s='sololearn'
print(s[:][:1])
Solution: s

Shouldn't the solution be "o" as "o" is index 1?

Thanks for any help:).

Answer 1

tristach605 I believe the answer should be 1 as well.
Unless,
you change [:1] to just [1]

Answer 2

Diego It is edited.

Answer 3

list[:1] is not the same as list[1]. list[:1] is equivalent to list[0:1] and means: return a slice of the list starting with index 0, ending with (but not including) index 1. That's why the letter at index 0 (s) is the only letter that is printed
