Question

Consider the statements given below and then choose the correct output from the given options:

myStr="MISSISSIPPI"
print(myStr[:4]+"#"+myStr[−5:])

Options

• MISSI#SIPPI

• MISS#SIPPI

• MISS#IPPIS

• MISSI#IPPIS

Answer 1

MISS#SIPPI

Explanation:

Mystr[:4] retrieves "MISS" characters from index 0 to 3, concatenated with "#". The mystr[−5:] slice returns characters from index −5 to the end, resulting in the string 'SIPPI'. In Python, indices range from 0 to n−1 (ahead) and −1...−n (reverse). The final string created is 'MISS#SIPPI'.
