Position 0 is the first character, and -1 is the last.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
Plan. The first position is 0. The last position is -1.
word = "python"print("First:", word[0])showsp.print("Last:", word[-1])showsn.
Check. len(word) is 6, so the last positive position is 5. word[5] is also n.
