New discovery that I thought I would pass on.

 

You can pull characters out of strings by position like you can an item in a list.

For example:

 

name = "brandon"

print name[1]

 

Output:

 

>>> r

[G+_L I]

You can also do slices like a list

 

print name[2:5] # outputs "and"

Strings work like a list of characters in a lot of ways. You can use loops:

for ltr in "Some String":

    print ltr

[G+_Joe Maruschek]

Try negative numbers.  They count from the end of the string! 

print name[-1] # outputs "n"

print name[-2] # outputs "o"
