File: http://docs.python.org/3.3/tutorial/introduction.html Section: 3.1.2. Strings There is a typo in this block ===BLOCK START=== In addition to indexing, slicing is also supported. While indexing is used to obtain individual characters, slicing allows you to obtain substring:

...

...

word[0:2] # characters from position 0 (included) to 2 (excluded)

'Py'

...

word[2:5] # characters from position 2 (included) to 4 (excluded) 'tho' ===BLOCK END=== The comment on the 2nd last line should read # characters from position 2 (included) to 5 (excluded)
