Traversing a String

Traversing means visiting each element of the string and processing it as required by the program. We
can access the characters of a string one at a time using indexing.

There are two ways of indexing a string:

Positive Indexing: Index starts with 0 from left to right.

Negative Indexing: Index starts with -1 from right to left. Syntax for traversing a string:

Example

0 1 2 3 4 5

O R A N G E

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
<name of the string> [index]
Program 6: To access different elements of a string

Program3.py
File Edit Format Run Options Window Help

name = 'orange'
print(name[0])
print(name[-1])

Output

o
e
