Some Notes as I brush back up on Python
Indexes and Slices with Python Strings
mystring = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
#Check variable type
print(type(mystring))
#Find the length of the variable
print(len(mystring))
print(mystring)
#Slicing is [start:stop:step]
print(mystring[0])
print(mystring[-1])
#Print Characters 22 forward
print(mystring[22:])
#Print First 3 characters, note that a is 0 and d is 3
#but we are saying with the below to go up to the letter D
#but don't include it
print(mystring[:3])
#Print Characters d thru f
print(mystring[3:6])
#Print All Characters
print(mystring[::])
#Hop Scotch by 2's
print(mystring[::2])
#Subsection and then Hop Scotch by 2's
print(mystring[11:19:2])
#Finally let's roll in reverse
print(mystring[::-1])

Formatting with .format() method in Python
print('Hello World, this is GrandMasterTux')
print('Hello {}, this is GrandMasterTux'.format('World'))
print('Hello {}, this is {}'.format('World','GrandMasterTux'))
print('Hello {0}, this is {1}'.format('World','GrandMasterTux'))
print('Hello {1}, this is {0}'.format('World','GrandMasterTux'))
print('Hello {1}, this is {1}'.format('World','GrandMasterTux'))
print('Hello {w}, this is {g}'.format(w='World',g='GrandMasterTux'))
Terminal @ TuxLabs
python formatting.py Hello World, this is GrandMasterTux Hello World, this is GrandMasterTux Hello World, this is GrandMasterTux Hello World, this is GrandMasterTux Hello GrandMasterTux, this is World Hello GrandMasterTux, this is GrandMasterTux Hello World, this is GrandMasterTux
