can I delete ":"?

Question

the code is
>>>name=input("输入姓名")
输入姓名:郭靖
>>>print("{ }哥哥，学好Python,人见人爱！".format(name[1:]))

Answer 1

No, you can't, name[1:] is the whole string without the first element, but name[1] is just the second element

Answer 2

Mirielle🐶 [Inactive] I know you made a simple typo but, as it's potentially a confusing one, I feel I should correct.

If name = "xiao"
name[1:] is "iao"
name[1] is "i"

Answer 3

You can remove the : using slice function, even though might not be the solution you searched for:
name[slice(1, None)]

Answer 4

thank u,Airree but why this code without ":"?
>>>print("{ }大侠，学好Python,大展拳脚！".format(name[0]))

Answer 5

No, name[1:] is the whole string except the first element, name[0] is just the first element
