a) 'Ln.'
b) 'Country Ln.'
c) '1357 Country Ln.'
d) 'Ln. '

Answer 1

The variable s_string will be assigned the last three characters of the string '1357 Country Ln.', which are 'Ln.'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The code provided is slicing a string in Python to retrieve the last three characters of the special variable. The slicing syntax special[-3:] specifies that the slice should start from the third character from the end of the string and continue to the end. Therefore, the correct answer is a) 'Ln.' since it corresponds to the last three characters of '1357 Country Ln.'. String is a collection of alphabets, words or other characters. It is one of the primitive data structures and are the building blocks for data manipulation. Python has a built-in string class named str . Python strings are "immutable" which means they cannot be changed after they are created.
