Was wondering how you would use a string that is equal to an interger as the integer in an index.
word = input("Enter word:")
print(word)
letterNum = int(len(word)) #determines amount of letters in word
print(letterNum)
lastLetter = word[letterNum] #supposed to figure out the last letter in a word
print(lastLetter)
This will get you the last letter in a word without all the code. I'm unsure what you're asking by index though.
word = input("Enter word: ")
print(word[-1])
Example:
Enter word: Test
#"t"
If you're asking if "Test 1" was input and you want to get the last character as a number then it's as simple as wrapping it in int but do some checking first.
word = input("Enter word: ")
last_char = word[-1]
if isnumeric(word[-1]):
print(int(last_char))
else:
print(last_char)
Examples:
Enter word: Test 1
#1
Enter word: Test
#"t"
variable = int(last_char)Here I am giving you few of the examples including above.
word = input("Enter word:").strip() # strip() is used to remove any trailing or leading white spaces
print(word)
letterNum = int(len(word)) # Determines amount of letters in word
print(letterNum)
# 1st way (Using the internet that we created above)
lastLetter = word[letterNum - 1] # Supposed to figure out the last letter in a word
print(lastLetter)
# 2nd way (As the above answers suggest, -ve index, -1 for last, -2 for 2nd last, this is best, but this basically for Python, other language like C/C++ etc. use 1st way)
print(word[-1])
# 3rd way (Not good, but it is good for those who are learning Python,Reversing the string and printing 1st character)
print(word[::-1][0])
