Question

Hi! when I try to select a part of a string or tuple [eg. s = "abc", then s(0)] it throws an error and the shell tells me "string" or "tuple" objects are not callable, and if I try to select some section [eg. s(0:2)] it just throws a syntaxis error. Is something amiss with my python version?

Answer 1

Not your puhon version. It is your syntax.

functon( ) \(\leftarrow\) the ( ) is where the function call goes.
string[ ] \(\leftarrow\) the [ ] is where the slice goes.

```
IDLE 2.6.5
>>> s='abc'
>>> s[0]
'a'
>>>
```
